Psalm 21:1-7

English Standard Version

The King Rejoices in the Lord's Strength

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

21 O Lord, in your ^(A)strength the king rejoices,
    and in your ^(B)salvation how greatly he exults!
²You have ^(C)given him his heart's desire
    and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
³For you ^(D)meet him with rich blessings;
    you set ^(E)a crown of ^(F)fine gold upon his head.
⁴He asked life of you; you ^(G)gave it to him,
    ^(H)length of days forever and ever.
⁵His ^(I)glory is great through your salvation;
    ^(J)splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
⁶For you make him most blessed forever;^[a]
    you make him glad with the ^(K)joy of your presence.
⁷For the king trusts in the Lord,
    and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be ^(L)moved.
