          DASV: Psalm 21    

For the music director, a psalm of David.

1 O LORD, the king rejoices in your strength,
     how greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
2 You have given him his heart's desire,
     and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
3 For you met him with rich blessings;
     you set a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked you for life, you gave it to him,
     even length of days forever and ever.
5 By your salvation his glory is great;
     you confer honor and majesty on him.
6 For you bestow eternal blessings on him;
     you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
7 For the king trusts in the LORD,
     and through the loyal love of the Most High
           he will not be moved.

8 Your hand will dominate all your enemies;
      your right hand will dominate those who hate you.
9 You will burn them up like a fiery furnace
          when you appear.
      The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath,
          and the fire will devour them.
10 Their offspring you will destroy from the earth,
     and their descendants from among the human race.
11 For although they intend harm against you,
     while they conceive a scheme, they will not succeed.
12 For you will make them turn in retreat;
     you will aim your bowstrings at their faces.
13 Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength;
     we will sing and praise your power.
