Psalm 21

1 To the chief Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 The king4428 shall joy8055 in thy strength,5797 O LORD;3068 and in thy salvation3444 how4100 greatly3966 shall he rejoice!1523

2 Thou hast given5414 him his heart's3820 desire,8378 and hast not1077 withheld4513 the request782 of his lips.8193 Selah.5542

3 For3588 thou preventest6923 him with the blessings1293 of goodness:2896 thou settest7896 a crown5850 of pure gold6337 on his head.7218

4 He asked7592 life2416 of4480 thee, and thou gavest5414 it him, even length753 of days3117 forever5769 and ever.5703

5 His glory3519 is great1419 in thy salvation:3444 honor1935 and majesty1926 hast thou laid7737 upon5921 him.

6 For3588 thou hast made7896 him most blessed1293 forever:5703 thou hast made him exceeding glad2302 8057 with854 thy countenance.6440

7 For3588 the king4428 trusteth982 in the LORD,3068 and through the mercy2617 of the most High5945 he shall not1077 be moved.4131

8 Thine hand3027 shall find out4672 all3605 thine enemies:341 thy right hand3225 shall find out4672 those that hate8130 thee.

9 Thou shalt make7896 them as a fiery784 oven8574 in the time6256 of thine anger:6440 the LORD3068 shall swallow them up1104 in his wrath,639 and the fire784 shall devour398 them.

10 Their fruit6529 shalt thou destroy6 from the earth,4480 776 and their seed2233 from among the children4480 1121 of men.120

11 For3588 they intended5186 evil7451 against5921 thee: they imagined2803 a mischievous device,4209 which they are not1077 able3201 to perform.

12 Therefore3588 shalt thou make7896 them turn their back,7926 when thou shalt make ready3559 thine arrows upon thy strings4340 against5921 the face6440 of them.

13 Be thou exalted,7311 LORD,3068 in thine own strength:5797 so will we sing7891 and praise2167 thy power.1369
