﻿Psalm.
Chapter 21.
LORD, the king rejoices in your strength; how greatly he exults in your salvation! 
You have granted him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah. 
For you meet him with blessings of goodness; you set a crown of fine gold on his head. 
He asked you for life, and you gave it to him: length of days forever and ever. 
His glory is great through your salvation; you bestow splendor and majesty on him. 
For you make him a blessing forever; you gladden him with joy in your presence. 
For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he will not be shaken. 
Your hand will find all your enemies; your right hand will find those who hate you. 
You will make them like a fiery furnace when you appear. The LORD will swallow them in his anger, and fire will consume them. 
You will destroy their fruit from the earth and their offspring from humankind. 
Though they intend evil against you and devise a scheme, they cannot succeed. 
For you will make them turn their backs when you aim your bowstrings at their faces. 
Be exalted, LORD, in your strength! We will sing and praise your might.
