Psalms 21

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (20-1) <Unto the end. A psalm for David.> (20-2) In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.

2 (20-3) Thou hast given him his heart’s desire: and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.

3 (20-4) For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.

4 (20-5) He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.

5 (20-6) His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.

6 (20-7) For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.

7 (20-8) For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

8 (20-9) Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.

9 (20-10) Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.

10 (20-11) Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.

11 (20-12) For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.

12 (20-13) For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.

13 (20-14) Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.

New International Version NIV

1 The king rejoices in your strength, LORD. How great is his joy in the victories you give!

2 You have granted him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.

3 You came to greet him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.

4 He asked you for life, and you gave it to him— length of days, for ever and ever.

5 Through the victories you gave, his glory is great; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.

6 Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.

7 For the king trusts in the LORD; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken.

8 Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize your foes.

9 When you appear for battle, you will burn them up as in a blazing furnace. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath, and his fire will consume them.

10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from mankind.

11 Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed.

12 You will make them turn their backs when you aim at them with drawn bow.

13 Be exalted in your strength, LORD; we will sing and praise your might.
