Psalm 21:1-13 CEV

[1] Our LORD, your mighty power makes the king glad, and he celebrates victories that you have given him. [2] You did what he wanted most and never told him "No." [3] You truly blessed the king, and you placed on him a crown of finest gold. [4] He asked to live a long time, and you promised him life that never ends. [5] The king is highly honored. You have let him win victories that have made him famous. [6] You have given him blessings that will last forever, and you have made him glad by being so near to him. [7] LORD Most High, the king trusts you, and your kindness keeps him from defeat. [8] With your mighty arm, LORD, you will strike down all of your hateful enemies. [9] They will be destroyed by fire once you are here, and because of your anger, flames will swallow them. [10] You will wipe their families from the earth, and they will disappear. [11] All their plans to harm you will come to nothing. [12] You will make them run away by shooting your arrows at their faces. [13] Show your strength, LORD, so that we may sing and praise your power.
