Psalms 21

¹The king is glad, O LORD, because you gave him strength; he rejoices because you made him victorious.

²You have given him his heart's desire; you have answered his request.

³You came to him with great blessings and set a crown of gold on his head.

⁴He asked for life, and you gave it, a long and lasting life.

⁵His glory is great because of your help; you have given him fame and majesty.

⁶Your blessings are with him forever, and your presence fills him with joy.

⁷The king trusts in the LORD Almighty; and because of the LORD's constant love he will always be secure.

⁸The king will capture all his enemies; he will capture everyone who hates him.

⁹He will destroy them like a blazing fire when he appears. The LORD will devour them in his anger, and fire will consume them.

¹⁰None of their descendants will survive; the king will kill them all.

¹¹They make their plans, and plot against him, but they will not succeed.

¹²He will shoot his arrows at them and make them turn and run.

¹³We praise you, LORD, for your great strength! We will sing and praise your power.
