Psalms 21

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in your strength; and in your salvation he shall greatly exult.

Unto the end. A psalm for David. In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.

2 You have granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

Thou hast given him his heart’s desire: and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.

3 For you have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.

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

He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.

5 His glory is great in your salvation: you will crown him with glory and majesty.

His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.

6 For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.

For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.

7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

8 Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.

Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.

9 You shall make them as a fiery oven at the time of your presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.

10 You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.

Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.

11 For they intended evils against you; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.

12 For you shall make them [turn their] back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.

For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.

13 Be you exalted, O Lord, in your strength: we will sing and praise your mighty acts.

Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.
