Psalm 21

^21:1 O Lord, the king rejoices in the strength you give; he takes great delight in the deliverance you provide. ^21:2 You grant him his heart’s desire; you do not refuse his request. (Selah) ^21:3 For you bring him rich blessings; you place a golden crown on his head. ^21:4 He asked you to sustain his life, and you have granted him long life and an enduring dynasty. ^21:5 Your deliverance brings him great honor; you give him majestic splendor. ^21:6 For you grant him lasting blessings; you give him great joy by allowing him into your presence. ^21:7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and because of the Most High’s faithfulness he is not shaken. ^21:8 You prevail over all your enemies; your power is too great for those who hate you. ^21:9 You burn them up like a fiery furnace when you appear. The Lord angrily devours them; the fire consumes them. ^21:10 You destroy their offspring from the earth, their descendants from among the human race. ^21:11 Yes, they intend to do you harm; they dream up a scheme, but they do not succeed. ^21:12 For you make them retreat when you aim your arrows at them. ^21:13 Rise up, O Lord, in strength! We will sing and praise your power.
