Psalm 21

Tree of Life Version

¹ For the music director, a psalm of David.
² Adonai, the king rejoices in Your strength!
How greatly he delights in Your salvation.
³ You granted him his heart’s desire,
and You did not withhold the request of his lips. Selah
⁴ For You met him with the best blessings.
You set on his head a crown of pure gold.
⁵ He asked You for life, You gave it to him,
length of days forever and ever.
⁶ His glory is great through Your salvation.
Honor and majesty You bestow on him.
⁷ For You bestow on him eternal blessings,
gladden him with joy in Your presence.
⁸ For the king trusts in Adonai,
and in the lovingkindness of Elyon
he will not be shaken.
⁹ Your hand will find all your enemies.
Your right hand will overtake those who hate You.
¹⁰ You will make them like a fiery furnace
    at the time of your appearing.
In His wrath Adonai will swallow them up
    and fire will consume them.
¹¹ You destroy their offspring from earth,
their seed from the children of men.
¹² Though they intended evil against You
and devised a plot, they cannot succeed.
¹³ For You make them turn their backs.
You aim Your bowstrings at their faces.
¹⁴ Be exalted, Adonai, in Your strength!
We will sing and praise Your might.
