21 1 In your strength the king rejoices, O Yahweh;
and in your help how greatly he exults!
21 2 You have given him his heart's desire,
and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
21 3 For you meet him with goodly blessings;
you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
21 4 He asked life of you; you gave it to him,
length of days for ever and ever.
21 5 His glory is great through your help;
splendour and majesty you bestow upon him.
21 6 Yea, you make him most blessed for ever;
you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
21 7 For the king trusts in Yahweh;
and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
21 8 Your hand will find out all your enemies;
your right hand will find out those who hate you.
21 9 You will make them as a blazing oven when you appear.
Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath; and fire will consume them.
21 10 You will destroy their offspring from the earth,
and their children from among the sons of men.
21 11 If they plan evil against you,
if they devise mischief, they will not succeed.
21 12 For you will put them to flight;
you will aim at their faces with your bows.
21 13 Be exalted, O Yahweh, in your strength!
We will sing and praise your power.
