Psalm
Psalms, 21
To the director. A melody of David.
1 O Jehovah, in your strength the king rejoices; And in your salvation how very joyful he wants to be!
2 The desire of his heart you have given him, And the wish of his lips you have not withheld. Seʹlah.
3 For you proceeded to meet him with blessings of good, [And] to place on his head a crown of refined gold.
4 Life he asked of you. You gave [it] to him, Length of days to time indefinite, even forever.
5 His glory is great in your salvation. Dignity and splendor you put upon him.
6 For you constitute him highly blessed forever; You make him feel glad with the rejoicing at your face.
7 For the king is trusting in Jehovah, Even in the loving-kindness*1 of the Most High. He will not be caused to totter.

8 Your hand will find all your enemies; Your own right hand will find those hating you.
9 You will constitute them as a fiery furnace at the appointed time for your attention. Jehovah in his anger will swallow them up, and the fire will devour them.
10 Their fruitage you will destroy from the very earth, And their offspring*1 from the sons of men.*2

11 For they have directed against you what is bad; They have thought out ideas that they are unable to carry out.
12 For you will make them turn their backs in flight By your bowstrings that you make ready against their face.
13 O be exalted in your strength, O Jehovah. We will sing and make melody to your mightiness.
