Psalms 21
21
PSALM 21
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David.
1The king in thy great strength, O Lord,
shall very joyful be:
In thy salvation rejoice
how veh'mently shall he!
2Thou hast bestowed upon him
all that his heart would have;
And thou from him didst not withhold
whate'er his lips did crave.
3For thou with blessings him prevent'st
of goodness manifold;
And thou hast set upon his head
a crown of purest gold.
4When he desired life of thee,
thou life to him didst give;
Ev'n such a length of days,
that he for evermore should live.
5In that salvation wrought by thee
his glory is made great;
Honour and comely majesty
thou hast upon him set.
6Because that thou for evermore
most blessed hast him made;
And thou hast with thy countenance
made him exceeding glad.
7Because the king upon the Lord
his confidence doth lay;
And through the grace of the most High
shall not be mov'd away.
8Thine hand shall all those men find out
that en'mies are to thee;
Ev'n thy right hand shall find out those
of thee that haters be.
9Like fiery ov'n thou shalt them make,
when kindled is thine ire;
God shall them swallow in his wrath,
devour them shall the fire.
10Their fruit from earth thou shalt destroy,
their seed men from among:
11For they beyond their might 'gainst thee
did plot mischief and wrong.
12Thou therefore shalt make them turn back,
when thou thy shafts shalt place
Upon thy strings, made ready all
to fly against their face.
13In thy great pow'r and strength, O Lord,
be thou exalted high;
So shall we sing with joyful hearts,
thy power praise shall we.

Psalms 21
21
After the Battle
(Proverbs 21:1–31)
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1O Lord, the king rejoices in Your strength.
How greatly he exults in Your salvation!
2You have granted his heart’s desire
and have not withheld the request of his lips.
Selah
3For You welcomed him with rich blessings;
You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
4He asked You for life, and You granted it—
length of days, forever and ever.
5Great is his glory in Your salvation;
You bestow on him splendor and majesty.
6For You grant him blessings forever;
You cheer him with joy in Your presence.
7For the king trusts in the Lord;
through the loving devotion of the Most High,
he will not be shaken.
8Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies;
Your right hand will seize those who hate You.
9You will place them in a fiery furnace
at the time of Your appearing.
In His wrath the Lord will engulf them,
and the fire will consume them.
10You will wipe their descendants from the earth,
and their offspring from the sons of men.
11Though they intend You harm,
the schemes they devise will not prevail.
12For You will put them to flight
when Your bow is trained upon them.
13Be exalted, O Lord, in Your strength;
we will sing and praise Your power.
