Psalms 21
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. O LORD, in Thy strength the king rejoiceth; and in Thy salvation how greatly doth he exult!
To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. O Yahweh, in thy strength, will the king rejoice, and, in thy salvation, how greatly will he exult!
2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and the request of his lips Thou hast not withholden. (Selah)
The longing of his heart, hast thou given him, and, the request of his lips, hast thou not withheld. (Selah)
3 For Thou meetest him with choicest blessings; Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.
For thou wilt come to meet him, with the blessings of goodness, Thou wilt set on his head, a crown of pure gold.
4 He asked life of Thee, Thou gavest it him; even length of days for ever and ever.
Life, he asked of thee, Thou hast given it him, length of days, to times age-abiding and beyond.
5 His glory is great through Thy salvation; honour and majesty dost Thou lay upon him.
Great is his glory, in thy salvation, Honour and majesty, wilt thou lay upon him;
6 For Thou makest him most blessed for ever; Thou makest him glad with joy in Thy presence.
For thou wilt appoint him blessings evermore, wilt cheer him with joy by thy countenance;
7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, yea, in the mercy of the Most High; he shall not be moved.
For, the king, is trusting in Yahweh, and, in the lovingkindness of the Highest, shall he not be shaken.
8 Thy hand shall be equal to all thine enemies; thy right hand shall overtake those that hate thee.
Thy hand, will find out, all thy foes, Thine own right hand, will find out them who hate thee.
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger; the LORD shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
Thou wilt make them like a furnace of fire, at the time of thy presence, —Yahweh, in his anger, will swallow them up, and there shall consume them a fire:
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
Their fruit—out of the earth, wilt thou destroy, and their seed, from among the sons of men;
11 For they intended evil against thee, they imagined a device, wherewith they shall not prevail.
For they have held out, against thee, a wicked thing, They have devised a scheme they cannot accomplish.
12 For thou shalt make them turn their back, thou shalt make ready with thy bowstrings against the face of them.
For thou wilt cause them to turn their back, Upon thy bow-strings, wilt thou make ready against their face.
13 Be Thou exalted, O LORD, in Thy strength; so will we sing and praise Thy power.
Be exalted, O Yahweh, in thy strength! With song and with string will we sound forth thy power.
