Psalm 21

	Psa 21:1	For the choir director. A Psalm of David. O LORD, in Your strength the king will be glad, And in Your [fn]salvation how greatly he will rejoice!
	Psa 21:2	You have given him his heart's desire, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. [fn]Selah.
	Psa 21:3	For You meet him with the blessings of good things; You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
	Psa 21:4	He asked life of You, You gave it to him, Length of days forever and ever.
	Psa 21:5	His glory is great through Your [fn]salvation, Splendor and majesty You place upon him.
	Psa 21:6	For You make him [fn]most blessed forever; You make him joyful with gladness in Your presence.
	Psa 21:7	For the king trusts in the LORD, And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he will not be shaken.
	Psa 21:8	Your hand will find out all your enemies; Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
	Psa 21:9	You will make them as a fiery oven in the time [fn]of your anger; The LORD will swallow them up in His wrath, And fire will devour them.
	Psa 21:10	Their [fn]offspring You will destroy from the earth, And their [fn]descendants from among the sons of men.
	Psa 21:11	Though they [fn]intended evil against You And devised a plot, They will not succeed.
	Psa 21:12	For You will make them turn their back; You will [fn]aim with Your bowstrings at their faces.
	Psa 21:13	Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; We will sing and praise Your power.
