\21:1\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!

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

\21:3\For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness: thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.

\21:4\He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it to him, even length of days for ever and ever.

\21:5\His glory is great in thy salvation: honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

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

\21:7\For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

\21:8\Thy hand shall find out all thy enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

\21:9\Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thy anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

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

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

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

\21:13\Be thou exalted, LORD, in thy own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
