Psalms 21

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, the king is joyful in Your strength, How greatly he rejoices in Your salvation.

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

2 You gave the desire of his heart to him, And You 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 put blessings of goodness before him, You set a crown of fine 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 has asked for life from You, You have given length of days to him, For all time and forever.

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

5 Great [is] his glory in Your salvation, You place splendor and majesty on him.

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

6 For You make him blessings forever, You cause him to rejoice with joy, By Your countenance.

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

7 For the king is trusting in YHWH, And in the kindness of the Most High he is not moved.

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

8 Your hand comes to all Your enemies, Your right hand finds Your haters.

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

9 You make them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Your presence. YHWH swallows them in His anger, And fire devours 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 You destroy their fruit from earth, And their seed from the sons of men.

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

11 For they stretched out evil against You, They devised a wicked scheme, they do not prevail,

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

12 For You make them turn their back, When You prepare Your strings against their faces.

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

13 Be exalted, O YHWH, in Your strength, We sing and we praise Your might!

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