21:1  To the director: A song of David. Lord, your strength makes the king happy. He is so happy when you give him victory.
21:2  And you gave him what he wanted. You gave him what he asked for. Selah
21:3  You gave the king such wonderful blessings. You put a golden crown on his head.
21:4  He asked for life, and you gave it. You gave him life that goes on forever.
21:5  You led him to victory that brought him great glory. You gave him honor and fame.
21:6  You have given him blessings that will last forever. You have given him the joy of being near you.
21:7  The king trusts in the Lord, and the faithful love of God Most High will keep him from falling.
21:8  Lord, you will show all your enemies that you are strong. Your power will defeat those who hate you.
21:9  When you appear, you will burn them up like a blazing furnace. In your anger, Lord, you will completely destroy them; they will be swallowed by flames of fire.
21:10  Their families will be destroyed. They will be removed from the earth.
21:11  That is because they made evil plans against you. They wanted to do things they could not do.
21:12  You will make them turn and run away when you aim your arrows at their faces.
21:13  Lord, we lift you up with our songs of praise. We sing and play songs about your power!
