Psalm 21

21st Century King James Version

21 The king shall rejoice in Thy strength, O Lord; and in Thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

² Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withheld the request of his lips. Selah

³ For Thou goest before him with the blessings of goodness; Thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

⁴ He asked life of Thee and Thou gavest it to him, even length of days for ever and ever.

⁵ His glory is great in Thy salvation; honor and majesty hast Thou laid upon him.

⁶ For Thou hast made him most blessed for ever; Thou hast made him exceeding glad with Thy countenance.

⁷ For the king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.

⁸ Thine hand shall find out all Thine enemies; Thy right hand shall find out those that hate Thee.

⁹ Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of Thine anger; the Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

¹⁰ Their fruit shalt Thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

¹¹ For they intended evil against Thee; they contrived a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

¹² Therefore shalt Thou make them turn their back when Thou shalt ready Thine arrows upon Thy strings against the face of them.

¹³ Be Thou exalted, Lord, in Thine own strength; so will we sing and praise Thy power!
