Psalm 21:1-7 (New International Version)

Psalm 21

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

 ¹ O LORD, the king rejoices in your strength.
       How great is his joy in the victories you give!

 ² You have granted him the desire of his heart
       and have not withheld the request of his lips.
       Selah

 ³ You welcomed him with rich blessings
       and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.

 ⁴ He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—
       length of days, for ever and ever.

 ⁵ Through the victories you gave, his glory is great;
       you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.

 ⁶ Surely you have granted him eternal blessings
       and made him glad with the joy of your presence.

 ⁷ For the king trusts in the LORD;
       through the unfailing love of the Most High
       he will not be shaken.
