Psalm 21
To the lead player, a David psalm.
LORD, in Your strength the king rejoices,
And in Your rescue how much he exults!
His heart’s desire You gave to him,
And his lips’ entreaty You did not withhold.
For You met him with blessings of bounty,
You set on his head a crown of pure gold.
Life he asked You – You gave him,
Length of days for time without end.
Great is his glory through Your rescue.
Glory and grandeur You bestowed upon him.
For You granted him blessings forever,
Cheered him with joy in Your presence.
For the king puts his trust in the LORD,
Through Elyon’s kindness he will not fail.
Your hand will find out your enemies,
Your right hand find out your foes.
You will make them like a fiery kiln
In the hour of Your wrath.
The LORD will devour them in His anger,
And fire will consume them.
Their fruit from the land You destroy
And their seed from among humankind.
For evil they plotted against you
Devised schemes they could not fulfill.
For you will make them turn back,
With your bowstring you aim at their face.
Loom high, O LORD in Your strength.
Let us sing, let us hymn Your might.
Our Lord said, “These are they which testify of me.” “For the king puts his trust in the LORD.” Jesus said, “[You] have faith in God!”
