Psalms 21

¹ O Yahweh, in Your strength is the king rejoicing, And in Your salvation, how exceedingly is he exulting! ² The yearning of his heart, You will give to him, And the proposal of his lips You will not withhold at all. ³ For You shall succor him with blessings of good; You shall set a glittering gold crown on his head. ⁴ He asked life from You; You will give it to him: Length of days for an eon and further. ⁵ Great is his glory through Your salvation; Splendor and honor shall You poise on him. ⁶ For You are setting him for blessings for the future; You are exhilarating him with the rejoicing of Your presence. ⁷ For the king is trusting in Yahweh, And in the benignity of the Supreme he shall not slip at all. ⁸ Your hand shall find all Your enemies; Your right hand, it shall find those hating You. ⁹ You shall make them like a fiery stove in the era of Your presence. Yahweh shall swallow them up in His anger, And fire shall devour them. ¹⁰ You shall destroy their fruit from the earth And their seed from among the sons of humanity. ¹¹ Though they have intended evil against You, And they have devised a scheme, They shall not prevail at all. ¹² For You shall make them turn their backs; With Your bowcords You shall be ready against their faces. ¹³ Be exalted, O Yahweh, in Your strength; We will sing and make melody concerning Your masterful deeds.
