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.

1For the leader. A psalm of David:
2Adonai, the king finds joy in your strength;
what great joy he displays in your victory!
3You give him his heart’s desire;
you don’t refuse the prayer from his lips. (Selah)
4For you come to meet him with the best blessings,
you place a crown of fine gold on his head.
5He asks you for life; you give it to him,
years and years forever and ever.
6Your victory brings him great glory;
you confer on him splendor and honor.
7For you bestow on him everlasting blessings,
you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
8For the king puts his trust in Adonai,
in the grace of ‘Elyon; he will not be moved.
9Your hand will find all your enemies;
your right hand will overtake those who hate you.
10At your appearing,
you will make them like a fiery furnace.
Adonai will swallow them up in his anger;
fire will consume them.
11You will destroy from the earth their descendants,
rid humankind of their posterity;
12for they intended evil against you;
but despite their scheme, they won’t succeed.
13For you will make them turn their back
by aiming your bow at their faces.
14Arise, Adonai, in your strength;
and we will sing and praise your power.
