Psalms 21 : Christian Community Bible
Psalms 21
| 2 The king rejoices in your strength, O Lord, and exults in your saving help. | |
| 3 You have granted him his desire; you have not rejected his request. | |
| 4 You have come to him with rich blessings; you have placed a golden crown upon his head. | |
| 5 When he asked, you gave him life – length of days forever and ever. | |
| 6 He glories in the victory you gave him; you shall bestow on him splendor and majesty. | |
| 7 You have given him eternal blessings, and gladdened him with the joy of your presence. | |
| 8 The king trusts in the Lord, and through the love of the Most High, he will not be shaken. | |
| 9 Your hand, O Lord, will reach your enemies, and lay hold of all your foes. | |
| 10 Your mere appearance will turn them into a blazing furnace. Your wrath will engulf them like a fire. | |
| 11 You will wipe their fruit from the earth and destroy their posterity. | |
| 12 Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they will never win; | |
| 13 they will turn back in fear, when you aim arrows at them. | |
| 14 Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength! We will sing in praise of your might. | |
