Psalm 21:1-7

Psalm 21In Hebrew texts 21:1-13 is numbered 21:2-14. 1For the director of music. A psalm of David. The king rejoices in your strength, LORD . How great is his joy in the victories you give!

2You have granted him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.

3You came to greet him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.

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

5Through the victories you gave, his glory is great; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.

6Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.

7For the king trusts in the LORD ; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken.
