Psalms 21 — ASVBT

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

21Verse 1The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah;
And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
^{Verse 2}Thou hast given him his heart’s desire,
And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah
^{Verse 3}For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness:
Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.
^{Verse 4}He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him,
Even length of days forever and ever.
^{Verse 5}His glory is great in thy salvation:
Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.
^{Verse 6}For thou makest him most blessed forever:
Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.
^{Verse 7}For the king trusteth in Jehovah;
And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.
^{Verse 8}Thy hand will find out all thine enemies;
Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.
^{Verse 9}Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger:
Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath,
And the fire shall devour them.
^{Verse 10}Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth,
And their seed from among the children of men.
^{Verse 11}For they intended evil against thee;
They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.
^{Verse 12}For thou wilt make them turn their back;
Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.
^{Verse 13}Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength:
So will we sing and praise thy power.
