Psalms 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
PSALM 21
Praise for Help.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1O Lord the king will delight in Your strength,
And in Your salvation how greatly will he rejoice!
2You have given him his heart’s desire,
And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
3For You meet him with blessings of good things;
You set a crown of pure gold on his head.
4He asked life of You,
And You gave it to him,
Long life forever and evermore.
5His glory is great because of Your victory;
Splendor and majesty You bestow upon him.
6For You make him most blessed [and a blessing] forever;
You make him joyful with the joy of Your presence.
7For the king [confidently] trusts in the Lord,
And through the lovingkindness (faithfulness, goodness) of the Most High he will never be shaken.
8Your hand will reach out and defeat all your enemies;
Your right hand will reach those who hate you.
9You will make them as [if in] a blazing oven in the time of your anger;
The Lord will swallow them up in His wrath,
And the fire will devour them.
10Their offspring You will destroy from the earth,
And their descendants from the sons of men.
11For they planned evil against You;
They devised a [malevolent] plot
And they will not succeed.
12For You will make them turn their backs [in defeat];
You will aim Your bowstring [of divine justice] at their faces.
13Be exalted, Lord, in Your strength;
We will sing and praise Your power.
