1 <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.>\ 2 \21:1\The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation! 3 \21:2\You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah.) 4 \21:3\For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head. 5 \21:4\He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever. 6 \21:5\His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him. 7 \21:6\For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face. 8 \21:7\For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved. 9 \21:8\Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you. 10 \21:9\You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire. 11 \21:10\Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. 12 \21:11\For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect. 13 \21:12\Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces. 14 \21:13\Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.
