Psalm 21

New King James Version

³ For You meet him with the blessings of goodness;
You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
^4 (B)He asked life from You,andYou gaveitto him—
Length of days forever and ever.
⁵ His gloryisgreat in Your salvation;
Honor and majesty You have placed upon him.
⁶ For You have made him most blessed forever;
^(C)You have made him^[a]exceedingly glad with Your presence.
⁷ For the king trusts in theLord,
And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be^[b]moved.

⁸ Your hand will find all Your enemies;
Your right hand will find those who hate You.
⁹ You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger;
TheLordshall swallow them up in His wrath,
And the fire shall devour them.
¹⁰ Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth,
And their^[c]descendants from among the sons of men.
¹¹ For they intended evil against You;
They devised a plotwhichthey are not ableto^(D)perform.
¹² Therefore You will make them turn their back;
You will make readyYour arrowson Your string toward their faces.

¹³ Be exalted, OLord, in Your own strength!
We will sing and praise Your power.
