# Chapter 21
|
|
1 O Lord, in your strength the king rejoices,
|
|
and in your salvation how greatly he exults!
|
|
2 You have given him his heart's desire
|
|
and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
|
|
3 For you meet him with rich blessings;
|
|
you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
|
|
4 He asked life of you; you gave it to him,
|
|
length of days forever and ever.
|
|
5 His glory is great through your salvation;
|
|
splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
|
|
6 For you make him most blessed forever;
|
|
you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
|
|
7 For the king trusts in the Lord,
|
|
and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
|
|
8 Your hand will find out all your enemies;
|
|
your right hand will find out those who hate you.
|
|
9 You will make them as a blazing oven
|
|
when you appear.
|
|
The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath,
|
|
and fire will consume them.
|
|
10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
|
|
and their offspring from among the children of man.
|
|
11 Though they plan evil against you,
|
|
though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.
|
|
12 For you will put them to flight;
|
|
you will aim at their faces with your bows.
|
|
13 Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength!
|
|
We will sing and praise your power. |
