21:1  The king [David] shall joy in Your strength, O Lord; and in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
21:2  You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah [pause, and think of that]!
21:3  For You send blessings of good things to meet him; You set a crown of pure gold on his head.
21:4  He asked life of You, and You gave it to him—long life forever and evermore.
21:5  His glory is great because of Your aid; splendor and majesty You bestow upon him.
21:6  For You make him to be blessed and a blessing forever; You make him exceedingly glad with the joy of Your presence.
21:7  For the king trusts, relies on, and is confident in the Lord, and through the mercy and steadfast love of the Most High he will never be moved.
21:8  Your hand shall find all Your enemies; Your right hand shall find all those who hate You.
21:9  You will make them as if in a blazing oven in the time of Your anger; the Lord will swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire will utterly consume them.
21:10  Their offspring You will destroy from the earth, and their sons from among the children of men.
21:11  For they planned evil against You; they conceived a mischievous plot which they are not able to perform.
21:12  For You will make them turn their backs; You will aim Your bow [of divine justice] at their faces.
21:13  Be exalted, Lord, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.
