Psalm 2127
For the music director; a psalm of David.
21:1 O LORD, the king rejoices
in the strength you give,1
he takes great delight in the deliverance you provide.2
21:2 You grant3
him his heart’s desire,
you do not refuse his request.4
(Selah)
21:3 For you bring him5
rich6
blessings,7
you place a golden crown on his head.
21:4 He asked you to sustain his life,8
and you have granted him long life and an enduring dynasty.9
21:5 Your deliverance brings him great honor,10
you give him majestic splendor.11
21:6 For you grant him lasting blessings,
you give him great joy by allowing him into your presence.12
21:7 For the king trusts13
in the LORD,
and because of the Sovereign LORD’s14
faithfulness he is not upended.15
21:8 You16
prevail over17
all your enemies,
your power is too great for those who hate you.18
21:9 You burn them up like a fiery furnace19
when you appear;20
the LORD angrily devours them,21
the fire consumes them.
21:10 You destroy their offspring22
from the earth,
their descendents23
from among the human race.24
21:11 Yes,25
they intend to do you harm,26
they dream up a scheme,27
but they do not succeed.28
21:12 For you make them retreat,29
when you shoot your arrows at them.30
21:13 Rise up, O LORD, in strength!31
We will sing and praise32
your power!
