Context
21:3 For you bring him rich blessings ; you place a golden crown on his head .
21:4 He asked you to sustain his life , and you have granted him long life and an enduring dynasty .
21:5 Your deliverance brings him great honor ; you give him majestic splendor .
21:6 For you grant him lasting blessings ; you give him great joy by allowing him into your presence .
21:7 For the king trusts in the Lord , and because of the sovereign Lord’s faithfulness he is not upended .
21:8 You prevail over all your enemies ; your power is too great for those who hate you.
21:9 You burn them up like a fiery furnace when you appear ; the Lord angrily devours them; the fire consumes them.
21:10 You destroy their offspring from the earth , their descendants from among the human race.
21:11 Yes , they intend to do you harm ; they dream up a scheme , but they do not succeed .
21:12 For you make them retreat when you shoot your arrows at them.
21:13 Rise up , O Lord , in strength ! We will sing and praise your power !
