Psalm 21
The King’s Victory
For the choir director. A psalm of David.
1
Lord, the king finds joy in your strength.
3For you meet him with rich blessings;
4He asked you for life, and you gave it to him —
5His glory is great through your victory;
you cheer him with joy in your presence.21:6 Ps 16:11
7For the king relies on the Lord;
through the faithful love of the Most High
8Your hand will capture all your enemies;
9You will make them burn
like a fiery furnace when you appear;
the Lord will engulf them in his wrath,
10You will wipe their progeny from the earth
and their offspring from the human race.21:10 Or the descendants of Adam21:10 1Kg 13:34; Ps 37:28; Is 14:20
11Though they intend to harm21:11 Lit they stretch out harm against you
12Instead, you will put them to flight
when you ready your bowstrings to shoot at them.21:12 Ps 7:12
13Be exalted, Lord, in your strength;
