ASV · American Standard Version

Psalms 21

1The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah;

2Thou hast given him his heart’s desire,

3For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness:

4He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him,

5His glory is great in thy salvation:

6For thou makest him most blessed for ever:

7For the king trusteth in Jehovah;

8Thy hand will find out all thine enemies;

9Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger:

10Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth,

11For they intended evil against thee;

12For thou wilt make them turn their back;

13Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength:
