For the director of music. A psalm of David.

21 Lord, the king is filled with joy because you are strong.
    How great is his joy because you help him win his battles!
You have given him what his heart wished for.
    You haven’t kept back from him what his lips asked for.
You came to greet him with rich blessings.
    You placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
