Psalm 21

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

[1] O LORD, in your strength the king rejoices,

and in your salvation how greatly he exults!

[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 rich blessings;

you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.

[4] He asked life of you; you gave it to him,

length of days forever and ever.

[5] His glory is great through your salvation;

splendor and majesty you bestow on him.

[6] For you make him most blessed forever;

you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

[7] For the king trusts in the LORD,

and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.

[8] Your hand will find out all your enemies;

your right hand will find out those who hate you.

[9] You will make them as a blazing oven

when you appear.

The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath,

and fire will consume them.

[10] You will destroy their descendants from the earth,

and their offspring from among the children of man.

[11] Though they plan evil against you,

though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.

[12] For you will put them to flight;

you will aim at their faces with your bows.

[13] Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength!

We will sing and praise your power. (ESV)
