21:1  For the director of music. A psalm of David. Lord, the king is filled with joy because you are strong. How great is his joy because you help him win his battles!
21:2  You have given him what his heart wished for. You haven’t kept back from him what his lips asked for.
21:3  You came to greet him with rich blessings. You placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
21:4  He asked you for life, and you gave it to him. You promised him days that would never end.
21:5  His glory is great because you helped him win his battles. You have honored him with glory and majesty.
21:6  You have given him blessings that will never end. You have made him glad and joyful because you are with him.

21:8  You, the king, will capture all your enemies. Your right hand will take hold of them.
21:9  When you appear for battle, you will burn them up like they were in a flaming furnace. The Lord will swallow them up in his great anger. His fire will burn them up.
21:10  You will wipe their children from the face of the earth. You will remove them from the human race.
