[21:1] The king is glad, O Lord, because you gave him strength; he rejoices because you made him victorious.
[21:2] You have given him his heart's desire; you have answered his request.
[21:3] You came to him with great blessings and set a crown of gold on his head.
[21:4] He asked for life, and you gave it, a long and lasting life.
[21:5] His glory is great because of your help; you have given him fame and majesty.
[21:6] Your blessings are with him forever, and your presence fills him with joy.
[21:7] The king trusts in the Lord Almighty; and because of the Lord's constant love he will always be secure.
[21:8] The king will capture all his enemies; he will capture everyone who hates him.
[21:9] He will destroy them like a blazing fire when he appears. The Lord will devour them in his anger, and fire will consume them.
[21:10] None of their descendants will survive; the king will kill them all.
[21:11] They make their plans, and plot against him, but they will not succeed.
[21:12] He will shoot his arrows at them and make them turn and run.
[21:13] We praise you, Lord, for your great strength! We will sing and praise your power.
