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.

2 You gave the desire of his heart to him, And You 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.

4 He has asked for life from You, You have given length of days to him, For all time and forever.

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

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

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

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

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.

10 You destroy their fruit from earth, And their seed from the sons of men.

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

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

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