Psalms 21

1 Yahweh, ([I], your king am glad/the king is glad) because you have caused me/him to be strong. (I rejoice/he rejoices) greatly because you have rescued me/him [from my/his enemies].

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

2 You have given me/him the things that I/he [SYN] desired and you have not refused to do what I requested you to do.

You gave the desire of his heart to him, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

3 In answer to my/his prayer, you enabled me/him to succeed and prosper. You placed a gold crown on my/his head.

For You put blessings of goodness before him, You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 I/He asked you to enable me/him to live [for a long time], and that is what you gave me/him, a very long [HYP] life.

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

5 (I am/He is) greatly honored because you have helped me/him to defeat my/his enemies; you have made me/him famous.

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

6 You will bless me/him forever, and you have caused me/him to be joyful in your presence.

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

7 Yahweh, you are God Almighty, and (I trust/the king trusts) in you. Because you faithfully love me/him, disastrous things will never happen to me/him.

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

8 You will enable me/him to capture [MTY] all my/his enemies and all those who hate me/him.

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

9 When you appear, you will throw them into a fiery furnace. Because you are angry [with them], you will get rid of them; the fire will burn them up.

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 will remove their children from this earth; their descendants will all disappear.

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

11 They planned to harm you, but what they plan will never succeed.

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

12 You will cause them to run away [IDM] by shooting arrows at them.

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

13 Yahweh, show us that you are very strong! When you do that, while we sing we will praise you because you are very powerful.

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