Psalm 21

Thanksgiving for Victory

To the leader. A Psalm of David.
¹In your strength the king rejoices, O Lord,
   and in your help how greatly he exults!
²You have given him his heart’s desire,
   and have not withheld the request of his lips.
          Selah
³For you meet him with rich blessings;
   you set a crown of fine gold on his head.
⁴He asked you for life; you gave it to him—
   length of days for ever and ever.
⁵His glory is great through your help;
   splendour and majesty you bestow on him.
⁶You bestow on him blessings for ever;
   you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
⁷For the king trusts in the Lord,
   and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
