Psalm 21

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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