21:1  For the choir director: A psalm of David. How the king rejoices in your strength, O LORD! He shouts with joy because you give him victory.
21:2  For you have given him his heart's desire; you have withheld nothing he requested. Interlude
21:3  You welcomed him back with success and prosperity. You placed a crown of finest gold on his head.
21:4  He asked you to preserve his life, and you granted his request. The days of his life stretch on forever.
21:5  Your victory brings him great honor, and you have clothed him with splendor and majesty.
21:6  You have endowed him with eternal blessings and given him the joy of your presence.
21:7  For the king trusts in the LORD. The unfailing love of the Most High will keep him from stumbling.
21:8  You will capture all your enemies. Your strong right hand will seize all who hate you.
21:9  You will throw them in a flaming furnace when you appear. The LORD will consume them in his anger; fire will devour them.
21:10  You will wipe their children from the face of the earth; they will never have descendants.
21:11  Although they plot against you, their evil schemes will never succeed.
21:12  For they will turn and run when they see your arrows aimed at them.
21:13  Rise up, O LORD, in all your power. With music and singing we celebrate your mighty acts.
