To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice (21:1)

Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah (21:2)

For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head (21:3)

He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever (21:4)

His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him (21:5)

For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance (21:6)

For the king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved (21:7)

Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee (21:8)

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 (21:9)

Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men (21:10)

For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform (21:11)

Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them (21:12)

Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power (21:13)
