Psalms 21

1 The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah. And in thy salvation how greatly he shall rejoice!

2 You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

Thou have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

3 For you prevent him with the blessings of goodness: you set a crown of pure gold on his head.

For thou meet him with the blessings of goodness. Thou set a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 He asked life of you, and you gave it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

He asked life from thee. Thou gave it him, even length of days forever and ever.

5 His glory is great in your salvation: honour and majesty have you laid upon him.

His glory is great in thy salvation. Honor and majesty thou do lay upon him.

6 For you have made him most blessed for ever: you have made him exceeding glad with your countenance.

For thou make him most blessed forever. Thou make him glad with joy in thy presence.

7 For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

For the king trusts in Jehovah. And through the loving kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

8 your hand shall find out all of your enemies: your right hand shall find out those that hate you.

Thy hand will find out all thine enemies. Thy right hand will find out those who hate thee.

9 You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

Thou will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger. Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

10 Their fruit shall you destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

Thou will destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from among the sons of men.

11 For they intended evil against you: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

For they intended evil against thee. They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

12 Therefore shall you make them turn their back, when you shall make ready your arrows upon your strings against the face of them.

For thou will make them turn their back. Thou will make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.

13 Be you exalted, LORD, in your own strength: so will we sing and praise your power.

Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength. We will sing and praise thy power.
