Psalm 21

1 The king celebrates your strength, LORD; look how happy he is about your saving help!

1 Your strength, God, is the king's strength. Helped, he's hollering Hosannas.

2 You've given him what his heart desires; you haven't denied what his lips requested. Selah

2 You gave him exactly what he wanted; you didn't hold back.

3 You bring rich blessings right to him; you put a crown of pure gold on his head.

3 You filled his arms with gifts; you gave him a right royal welcome.

4 He asked you for life, and you gave it to him, all right— long days, forever and always!

4 He wanted a good life; you gave it to him, and then made it a long life as a bonus.

5 The king's reputation is great because of your saving help; you've conferred on him glory and grandeur.

5 You lifted him high and bright as a cumulus cloud, then dressed him in rainbow colors.

6 You grant him blessings forever; you make him happy with the joy of your presence.

6 You pile blessings on him; you make him glad when you smile.

7 Because the king trusts the LORD, and because of the Most High's faithful love, he will not stumble.

7 Is it any wonder the king loves God? that he's sticking with the Best?

8 Your hand will catch all your enemies; your strong hand will catch all who hate you.

8 With a fistful of enemies in one hand and a fistful of haters in the other,

9 When you appear, LORD, you will light them up like an oven on fire. God will eat them whole in his anger; fire will devour them.

9 You radiate with such brilliance that they cringe as before a furnace. Now the furnace swallows them whole, the fire eats them alive!

10 You will destroy their offspring from the land; destroy their descendants from the human race.

10 You purge the earth of their progeny, you wipe the slate clean.

11 Because they sought to do you harm, they devised a wicked plan—but they will fail!

11 All their evil schemes, the plots they cook up, have fizzled - every one.

12 Because you will make them turn and run when you aim your bow straight at their faces!

12 You sent them packing; they couldn't face you.

13 Be exalted, LORD, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power!

13 Show your strength, God, so no one can miss it. We are out singing the good news!
