To the chief musician, a psalm of David
21
📚✭The king will have joy in your strength,
O LORD, and in your salvation
how greatly he will rejoice!
2 📚You have given him
his heart’s desire,
and have not withheld
the request of his lips. Selah
3 📚✭For you met him with
the blessings of
goodness.
You set a crown of pure
gold on his head.
4 📚✭He asked life from you,
and you gave it
to him,
length of days forever
and ever.
5 📚✭His glory is great
in your salvation.
You have placed on him
honour and majesty.
6 📚✭For you have made him
most blessed forever.
You have made him
exceedingly glad
with your presence.
7 📚✭For the king trusts
in the LORD,
and through the mercy
of the Most High he will
not be shaken.
8 📚✭Your hand will find
all your enemies;
your right hand shall find
those who hate you.
9 📚✭You will make them like
a fiery furnace in the time
of your anger.
The LORD will swallow
them up in his wrath,
and the fire will devour them.
10 📚✭You will destroy their fruit
from the earth,
and their seed from among
the children of men.
11 📚For they intended evil
against you.
They devised a wicked plot,
which they are not able
to carry out.
12 📚Therefore you will make them
turn their back,
when you make your arrows
ready on your string,
aimed at their faces.
13 📚✭Be exalted, O LORD,
in your own strength!
We will sing and praise
your power.
