Psalms 21
[1]
How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
[2] You have given him his heart’s desire,
and have not withheld the request of his lips.
Selah. [3] For you meet him with the blessings of goodness.
You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
[4] He asked life of you and you gave it to him,
even length of days forever and ever.
[5] His glory is great in your salvation.
You lay honor and majesty on him.
[6] For you make him most blessed forever.
You make him glad with joy in your presence.
[7] For the king trusts in Yahweh.
Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
[8] Your hand will find out all of your enemies.
Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
[9] You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger.
Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath.
The fire shall devour them.
[10] You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
their posterity from among the children of men.
[11] For they intended evil against you.
They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
[12] For you will make them turn their back,
when you aim drawn bows at their face.
[13] Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength,
so we will sing and praise your power.
