1.6 KiB
Psalm 21 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
- O LORD, in your strength the king rejoices, and in your salvation how greatly he exults!
- You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
- For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
- He asked life of you; you gave it to him, length of days forever and ever.
- His glory is great through your salvation; splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
- For you make him most blessed forever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
- For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
- Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you.
- 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.
- You will destroy their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from among the children of man.
- Though they plan evil against you, though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.
- For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bows.
- Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power.
