Psalm 21

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. A psalm of David: ADONAI, the king finds joy in your strength; what great joy he displays in your victory!

2 You give him his heart's desire; you don't refuse the prayer from his lips. (Selah)

3 For you come to meet him with the best blessings, you place a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 He asks you for life; you give it to him, years and years forever and ever.

5 Your victory brings him great glory; you confer on him splendor and honor.

6 For you bestow on him everlasting blessings, you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

7 For the king puts his trust in ADONAI, in the grace of 'Elyon; he will not be moved.

8 Your hand will find all your enemies; your right hand will overtake those who hate you.

9 At your appearing, you will make them like a fiery furnace. ADONAI will swallow them up in his anger; fire will consume them.

10 You will destroy from the earth their descendants, rid humankind of their posterity;

11 for they intended evil against you; but despite their scheme, they won't succeed.

12 For you will make them turn their back by aiming your bow at their faces.

13 Arise, ADONAI, in your strength; and we will sing and praise your power.
