21:1  For the choir director. A psalm of David. Lord, the king finds joy in your strength. How greatly he rejoices in your victory!
21:2  You have given him his heart’s desire and have not denied the request of his lips.Selah
21:3  For you meet him with rich blessings; you place a crown of pure gold on his head.
21:4  He asked you for life, and you gave it to him— length of days forever and ever.
21:5  His glory is great through your victory; you confer majesty and splendor on him.
21:6  You give him blessings forever; you cheer him with joy in your presence.
21:7  For the king relies on the Lord; through the faithful love of the Most High he is not shaken.
21:8  Your hand will capture all your enemies; your right hand will seize those who hate you.
21:9  You will make them burn like a fiery furnace when you appear; the Lord will engulf them in his wrath, and fire will devour them.
21:10  You will wipe their progeny from the earth and their offspring from the human race.
21:11  Though they intend to harm you and devise a wicked plan, they will not prevail.
21:12  Instead, you will put them to flight when you ready your bowstrings to shoot at them.
21:13  Be exalted, Lord, in your strength; we will sing and praise your might.
