Psalms 21

1. ^{For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah; And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! 2. Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. [Selah] 3. For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head. 4. He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever. 5. His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him. 6. For thou makest him most blessed for ever: Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence. 7. For the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved. 8. Thy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee. 9. Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger: Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them. 10. Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men. 11. For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform. 12. For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face. 13. Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power. (Psalms 21:1-13, ASV)

1. To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! 2. Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. 3. For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. 4. He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. 5. His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. 6. For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. ^{made him most: Heb. set him to be blessings made him exceeding: Heb. make him glad with joy} 7. For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. 8. Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. 9. Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. 10. Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. 11. For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. 12. Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them. ^{shalt thou: or, thou shalt set them as a butt back: Heb. shoulder} 13. Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power. (Psalms 21:1-13, KJV)

1. To the Overseer., A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth. 2. The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. Selah. 3. For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold. 4. Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him, length of days, Age-during, and for ever. 5. Great [is] his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him. 6. For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance. 7. For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved. 8. Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters. 9. Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them. 10. Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men. 11. For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not, 12. For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces. 13. Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might! (Psalms 21:1-13, YLT)
