# Chapter 21
|
||
1 How the king rejoices in your strength, O Lord!
|
||
He shouts with joy because you give him victory.
|
||
2 For you have given him his heart’s desire;
|
||
you have withheld nothing he requested. Interlude
|
||
3 You welcomed him back with success and prosperity.
|
||
You placed a crown of finest gold on his head.
|
||
4 He asked you to preserve his life,
|
||
and you granted his request.
|
||
The days of his life stretch on forever.
|
||
5 Your victory brings him great honor,
|
||
and you have clothed him with splendor and majesty.
|
||
6 You have endowed him with eternal blessings
|
||
and given him the joy of your presence.
|
||
7 For the king trusts in the Lord.
|
||
The unfailing love of the Most High will keep him from stumbling.
|
||
8 You will capture all your enemies.
|
||
Your strong right hand will seize all who hate you.
|
||
9 You will throw them in a flaming furnace
|
||
when you appear.
|
||
The Lord will consume them in his anger;
|
||
fire will devour them.
|
||
10 You will wipe their children from the face of the earth;
|
||
they will never have descendants.
|
||
11 Although they plot against you,
|
||
their evil schemes will never succeed.
|
||
12 For they will turn and run
|
||
when they see your arrows aimed at them.
|
||
13 Rise up, O Lord, in all your power.
|
||
With music and singing we celebrate your mighty acts. |
