Chapter 21
1 The king rejoices in your strength, LORD ! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
2 You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
3 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4 He asked life of you and you gave it to him , even length of days forever and ever.
5 His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honour and majesty on him .
6 For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence .
7 For the king trusts in the LORD . Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
8 Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you .
9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them .
10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from amongst the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against you . They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
12 For you will make them turn their back , when you aim drawn bows at their face.
13 Be exalted, LORD , in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power .
