21:1  The king celebrates your strength, Lord; look how happy he is about your saving help!
21:2  You’ve given him what his heart desires; you haven’t denied what his lips requested. Selah
21:3  You bring rich blessings right to him; you put a crown of pure gold on his head.
21:4  He asked you for life, and you gave it to him, all right— long days, forever and always!
21:5  The king’s reputation is great because of your saving help; you’ve conferred on him glory and grandeur.
21:6  You grant him blessings forever; you make him happy with the joy of your presence.
21:7  Because the king trusts the Lord, and because of the Most High’s faithful love, he will not stumble.
21:8  Your hand will catch all your enemies; your strong hand will catch all who hate you.
21:9  When you appear, Lord, you will light them up like an oven on fire. God will eat them whole in his anger; fire will devour them.
21:10  You will destroy their offspring from the land; destroy their descendants from the human race.
21:11  Because they sought to do you harm, they devised a wicked plan—but they will fail!
21:12  Because you will make them turn and run when you aim your bow straight at their faces!
21:13  Be exalted, Lord, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power!
