¹(21) For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in your strength; and in your salvation he shall greatly exult.

¹For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

²You have granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. Pause.

²send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

³For you have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you have set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

³remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. Selah.

⁴He asked life of you , and you gave him length of days for ever and ever.

⁴May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

⁵His glory is great in your salvation: you will crown him with glory and majesty.

⁵We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Yahweh grant all your requests.

⁶For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.

⁶Now I know that Yahweh saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

⁷For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

⁷Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of Yahweh our God.

⁸Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.

⁸They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

⁹You shall make them as a fiery oven at the time of your presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

⁹Save, Yahweh! Let the King answer us when we call!
