Psalms 21

1

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah; And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

2

Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah

3

For thou meetest him with the blessings of 1 goodness: Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head. 1) Or good things

4

He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever.

5

His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.

6

For thou 1 makest him most blessed for ever: Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence. 1) Heb settest him to be blessings ; See Ge 12:2

7

For the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

8

Thy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.

9

Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine 1 anger: Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them. 1) Or presence ; Heb countenance

10

Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men.

11

For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

12

For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.

13

Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power.
