Psalms 21

1LORD, the king takes delight in your strength; your saving help fills him with overflowing joy! 2What his heart longed for, you have given him; what his lips asked, you have not held back. Selah 3Indeed, you go out to greet him with good gifts and blessings; on his head you set a crown of refined gold. 4He asked for life, and you granted it, days stretching on forever and ever. 5Because you rescued him, his honor stands high; you lay royal splendor and majesty on him. 6For you make him a blessing that never ends; you fill him with gladness in your presence. 7The king relies on the LORD, and because of the loyal love of the Most High, nothing will shake him. 8Your hand will reach all your enemies; your right hand will track down all who hate you. 9When you come against them, you will make them like a blazing oven; in his anger the LORD will swallow them, and fire will eat them up. 10You will wipe out their offspring from the earth, their line from among all people. 11Though they aim evil at you and hatch their schemes, they will not get their way. 12For you will put them to flight; you will set arrows to your bowstring and aim at their faces. 13Rise high in your strength, LORD! We will sing and make music in praise of your power.
