Chapter 21
1 Lord , the king finds joy in your strength. How greatly he rejoices in your victory!
2 You have given him his heart’s desire and have not denied the request of his lips. Selah
3 For you meet him with rich blessings; you place a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked you for life, and you gave it to him — length of days forever and ever.
5 His glory is great through your victory; you confer majesty and splendor on him.
6 You give him blessings forever; you cheer him with joy in your presence.
7 For the king relies on the Lord ; through the faithful love of the Most High he is not shaken.
8 Your hand will capture all your enemies; your right hand will seize those who hate you.
9 You will make them burn like a fiery furnace when you appear; the Lord will engulf them in his wrath, and fire will devour them.
10 You will wipe their progeny from the earth and their offspring from the human race. ,
11 Though they intend to harm you and devise a wicked plan, they will not prevail.
12 Instead, you will put them to flight when you ready your bowstrings to shoot at them.
13 Be exalted, Lord , in your strength; we will sing and praise your might.
