Psalm 21 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

The King Trusts in Yahweh

Psa 21:1

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

O Yahweh, in Your strength the king will be glad,

And in Your [fn]salvation how greatly he will rejoice!

Psa 21:2

You have given him his heart’s desire,

And You have not withheld the request of his lips. [fn]Selah.

Psa 21:3

For You meet him with the blessings of good things;

You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

Psa 21:4

He asked life of You,

You gave it to him,

Length of days forever and ever.

Psa 21:5

His glory is great through Your [fn]salvation,

Splendor and majesty You bestow upon him.

Psa 21:6

For You make him [fn]most blessed forever;

You make him joyful with gladness in Your presence.

Psa 21:7

For the king trusts in Yahweh,

And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he will not be shaken.

Psa 21:8

Your hand will find out all your enemies;

Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

Psa 21:9

You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your [fn]anger;

Yahweh will swallow them up in His wrath,

And fire will devour them.

Psa 21:10

Their [fn]offspring You will destroy from the earth,

And their seed from among the sons of men.

Psa 21:11

Though they [fn]intended evil against You

And devised a scheme,

They will not succeed.

Psa 21:12

For You will make them turn their back;

You will [fn]aim with Your bowstrings at their faces.

Psa 21:13

Be exalted, O Yahweh, in Your strength;

We will sing and praise Your might.
