Psalm 21 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Praise for Salvation.

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

21 Lord, in Your strength the king will ^(A)be glad,
And in Your ^[a]salvation how greatly he will rejoice!
²You have ^(B)given him his heart’s desire,
And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
³For You ^(C)meet him with the blessings of good things;
You set a ^(D)crown of pure gold on his head.
⁴He asked for life from You,
You ^(E)gave it to him,
^(F)Length of days forever and ever.
⁵His ^(G)glory is great through Your ^[b]salvation,
^(H)Splendor and majesty You place upon him.
⁶For You make him ^[c]most ^(I)blessed forever;
You make him joyful ^(J)with the joy of Your presence.

⁷For the king ^(K)trusts in the Lord,
And through the faithfulness of the Most High ^(L)he will not be shaken.
⁸Your hand will ^(M)find all your enemies;
Your right hand will find those who hate you.
⁹You will make them ^(N)as a fiery oven in the time ^[d]of your anger;
The Lord will ^(O)swallow them up in His wrath,
And ^(P)fire will devour them.
¹⁰You will eliminate their ^[e]descendants from the earth,
And their ^[f]^(Q)children from among the sons of mankind.
¹¹Though they ^[g]^(R)intended evil against You
And ^(S)devised a plot,
They will not succeed.
¹²For You will ^(T)make them turn their back;
You will take aim at their faces ^(U)with Your bowstrings.
¹³Be exalted, Lord, in Your strength;
We will ^(V)sing and praise Your power.
