To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
[21:1] O Lord, in your strength the king rejoices, and in your salvation how greatly he exults!
[21:2] You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.
[21:3] For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
[21:4] He asked life of you; you gave it to him, length of days forever and ever.
[21:5] His glory is great through your salvation; splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
[21:6] For you make him most blessed forever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
[21:7] For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
[21:8] Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you.
[21:9] You will make them as a blazing oven when you appear. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath, and fire will consume them.
[21:10] You will destroy their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from among the children of man.
[21:11] Though they plan evil against you, though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.
[21:12] For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bows.
[21:13] Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power.
