21:1 O Lord, the king rejoices in your strength. He joyfully celebrates salvation from you.
21:2 You have granted him what his heart desired. Interlude You have not denied the request from his lips.
21:3 Yes, you meet him to give him great 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 He receives great glory through the salvation you gave. You bestow splendor and majesty on him.
21:6 Surely you grant him blessings forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.
21:7 Surely the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be shaken.
21:8 Your hand will reach all your enemies. Your right hand will reach those who hate you.
21:9 At the time when you appear, O Lord, you will make them like a blazing furnace. In his anger he will swallow them. Fire will consume them.
21:10 You will cause their fruit to perish from the earth, their seed from among the children of Adam.
21:11 Indeed, they intend evil against you. They plan wicked schemes, but they will not succeed,
21:12 because you will make them turn and run when you get ready to aim your arrows at them.
21:13 Rise up, O Lord, in your strength. We will sing and make music because of your might.
