Psaumes 21.9
New International Version

Reconnaissance du roi

¹ The king rejoices in your strength, Lord.
How great is his joy in the victories you give!

² You have granted him his heart’s desire
and have not withheld the request of his lips.

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

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

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

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

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

⁸ Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies;
your right hand will seize your foes.

⁹ When you appear for battle,
you will burn them up as in a blazing furnace.
The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath,
and his fire will consume them.

¹⁰ You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
their posterity from mankind.

¹¹ Though they plot evil against you
and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed.

¹² You will make them turn their backs
when you aim at them with drawn bow.

¹³ Be exalted in your strength, Lord;
we will sing and praise your might.
