PSALM 21
Joy in the Salvation of the LORD
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 The king shall have joy in Your strength, O LORD;
​​And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 ​​You have given him his heart’s desire,
​​And have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
​
3 ​​For You meet him with the blessings of goodness;
​​You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
4 ​​He asked life from You, and You gave it to him—
​​Length of days forever and ever.
5 ​​His glory is great in Your salvation;
​​Honor and majesty You have placed upon him.
6 ​​For You have made him most blessed forever;
​​You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence.
7 ​​For the king trusts in the LORD,
​​And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.
​
8 ​​Your hand will find all Your enemies;
​​Your right hand will find those who hate You.
9 ​​You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger;
​​The LORD shall swallow them up in His wrath,
​​And the fire shall devour them.
10 ​​Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth,
​​And their descendants from among the sons of men.
11 ​​For they intended evil against You;
​​They devised a plot which they are not able to perform.
12 ​​Therefore You will make them turn their back;
​​You will make ready Your arrows on Your string toward their faces.
​
13 ​​Be exalted, O LORD, in Your own strength!
​​We will sing and praise Your power.
