Psalm 21 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

You have given him his heart’s desire

and have not denied the request of his lips.Selah

For you meet him with rich blessings;

you place a crown of pure gold on his head.

He asked you for life, and you gave it to him —

length of days forever and ever.

His glory is great through your victory;

you confer majesty and splendor on him.

You give him blessings forever;

you cheer him with joy in your presence.

For the king relies on the LORD;

through the faithful love of the Most High

he is not shaken.

Your hand will capture all your enemies;

your right hand will seize those who hate you.

You will make them burn

like a fiery furnace when you appear;

the LORD will engulf them in his wrath,

and fire will devour them.

You will wipe their progeny from the earth

and their offspring from the human race.[fn]

Though they intend to harm[fn] you

and devise a wicked plan, they will not prevail.

Instead, you will put them to flight

when you ready your bowstrings to shoot at them.

Be exalted, LORD, in your strength;

we will sing and praise your might.
