Psalm 21

The King shall rejoice in your strength, O Lord; exceedingly glad shall he be of your salvation.

You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not denied him the request of his lips.

For you shall meet him with the blessings of goodness, and shall set a crown of pure gold upon his head.

He asked you for life, and you gave it to him: length of days, for ever and ever.

His honor is great because of your salvation; glory and majesty shall you lay upon him.

For you shall give him everlasting felicity and make him glad with the joy of your countenance.

For the King puts his trust in the Lord, and because of the mercy of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

All your enemies shall feel your hand; your right hand shall find those who hate you.

You shall make them like a fiery oven in the time of your wrath; the Lord shall destroy them in his displeasure, and the fire shall consume them.

Their offspring you shall root out of the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

For they intended evil against you, and imagined wicked schemes, which they are not able to perform.

Therefore you shall put them to flight, and the strings of your bow you shall aim at their faces.

Be exalted, O Lord, in your own strength; so we will sing and praise your power.
