How great is his joy in the victories you give! 21:2 You have granted him the desire of his heart and have not withheld the request of his lips. 21:3 You welcomed him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head. 21:4 He asked you for life, and you gave it to him- length of days, for ever and ever. 21:5 Through the victories you gave, his glory is great; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty. 21:6 Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. 21:7 For the king trusts in the Lord ; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken. 21:8 Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize your foes. 21:9 At the time of your appearing you will make them like a fiery furnace. In his wrath the Lord will swallow them up, and his fire will consume them. 21:10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from mankind. 21:11 Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed; 21:12 for you will make them turn their backs when you aim at them with drawn bow. 21:13 Be exalted, O Lord , in your strength; we will sing and praise your might.
