Psalms 21

1 A thanksgiving for victory. 7 Confidence of further success.

 21:1 ¶ [[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.]] The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah; And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

 21:2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

 21:3 For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.

 21:4 He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever.

 21:5 His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.

 21:6 For thou makest him most blessed for ever: Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.

 21:7 For the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

 21:8 Thy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.

 21:9 Thou wilt 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.

 21:10 Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men.

 21:11 For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

 21:12 For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.

 21:13 Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power.
