Psalm 21

English Standard Version ESV

1 O Lord, in your strength the king rejoices, and in your salvation how greatly he exults!

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

3 For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.

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

5 His glory is great through your salvation; splendor and majesty you bestow on him.

6 For you make him most blessed forever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.

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

9 You will make them as a blazing oven when you appear. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath, and fire will consume them.

10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from among the children of man.

11 Though they plan evil against you, though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.

12 For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bows.

13 Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power.

4 He asked you to preserve his life, and you granted his request. The days of his life stretch on forever.

5 Your victory brings him great honor, and you have clothed him with splendor and majesty.

6 You have endowed him with eternal blessings and given him the joy of your presence.

7 For the king trusts in the LORD . The unfailing love of the Most High will keep him from stumbling.

8 You will capture all your enemies. Your strong right hand will seize all who hate you.

9 You will throw them in a flaming furnace when you appear. The LORD will consume them in his anger; fire will devour them.

10 You will wipe their children from the face of the earth; they will never have descendants.

11 Although they plot against you, their evil schemes will never succeed.

12 For they will turn and run when they see your arrows aimed at them.

13 Rise up, O LORD, in all your power. With music and singing we celebrate your mighty acts.
