Psaumes 21.1
English standard version

Reconnaissance du roi

¹ To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
O Lord, in your strength the king rejoices,
and in your salvation how greatly he exults!
² You have given him his heart's desire
and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
³ For you meet him with rich blessings;
you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
⁴ He asked life of you; you gave it to him,
length of days forever and ever.
⁵ His glory is great through your salvation;
splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
⁶ For you make him most blessed forever;
you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
⁷ For the king trusts in the Lord,
and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
⁸ Your hand will find out all your enemies;
your right hand will find out those who hate you.
⁹ You will make them as a blazing oven
when you appear.
The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath,
and fire will consume them.
¹⁰ You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
and their offspring from among the children of man.
¹¹ Though they plan evil against you,
though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.
¹² For you will put them to flight;
you will aim at their faces with your bows.
¹³ Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength!
We will sing and praise your power.
