Psalm 21The King's Victory
|
|
|
|
1. Lord, the king finds joy in your strength.
|
|
How greatly he rejoices in your victory!
|
|
|
|
2. You have given him his heart's desire
|
|
and have not denied the request of his lips.Selah
|
|
|
|
3. For you meet him with rich blessings;
|
|
you place a crown of pure gold on his head.
|
|
|
|
4. He asked you for life, and you gave it to him--
|
|
length of days forever and ever.
|
|
|
|
5. His glory is great through your victory;
|
|
you confer majesty and splendor on him.
|
|
|
|
6. You give him blessings forever;
|
|
you cheer him with joy in your presence.
|
|
|
|
7. For the king relies on
|
|
the Lord;
|
|
through the faithful love of the Most High
|
|
he is not shaken.
|
|
|
|
8. Your hand will capture all your enemies;
|
|
your right hand will seize those who hate you.
|
|
|
|
9. You will make them burn
|
|
like a fiery furnace when you appear;
|
|
the Lord will engulf them in his wrath,
|
|
and
|
|
fire will devour them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. You will wipe their progeny from the earth
|
|
and their offspring from the human race.
|
|
|
|
11. Though they intend to harm you
|
|
and devise a wicked plan, they will not prevail.
|
|
|
|
12. Instead, you will put them to flight
|
|
when you ready your bowstrings to shoot at them.
|
|
|
|
13. Be exalted, Lord, in your strength;
|
|
we will sing and praise your might.
