For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
21:1The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah;
And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
21:2Thou hast given him his heart's desire,
And hast not withholden the request of his lips.
21:3For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness:
Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.
21:4He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him,
Even length of days for ever and ever.
21:5His glory is great in thy salvation:
Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.
21:6For thou makest him most blessed for ever:
Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.
21:7For the king trusteth in Jehovah;
And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.
21:8Thy hand will find out all thine enemies;
Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.
21:9Thou 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.
21:10Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth,
And their seed from among the children of men.
21:11For they intended evil against thee;
They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.
21:12For thou wilt make them turn their back;
Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.
