Psalm 21 – Studienbibel

1 To the chief Musician5329, A Psalm4210 of David1732. The king4428 shall joy8055 in thy strength5797, O LORD3068; and in thy salvation3444 how greatly3966 shall he rejoice1523! 2 Thou hast given5414 him his heart's3820 desire8378, and hast not withholden4513 the request782 of his lips8193. Selah5542. 3 For thou preventest6923 him with the blessings1293 of goodness2896: thou settest7896 a crown5850 of pure gold6337 on his head7218. 4 He asked7592 life2416 of thee, and thou gavest5414 it him, even length753 of days3117 for ever5769 and ever5703. 5 His glory3519 is great1419 in thy salvation3444: honour1935 and majesty1926 hast thou laid7737 upon him. 6 For thou hast made7896 him most blessed1293 for ever5703: thou hast made2302 him exceeding glad8057 with thy countenance6440.¹²

7 For the king4428 trusteth982 in the LORD3068, and through the mercy2617 of the most High5945 he shall not be moved4131. 8 Thine hand3027 shall find out4672 all thine enemies341: thy right hand3225 shall find out4672 those that hate8130 thee. 9 Thou shalt make7896 them as a fiery784 oven8574 in the time6256 of thine anger6440: the LORD3068 shall swallow them up1104 in his wrath639, and the fire784 shall devour398 them. 10 Their fruit6529 shalt thou destroy6 from the earth776, and their seed2233 from among the children1121 of men120. 11 For they intended5186 evil7451 against thee: they imagined2803 a mischievous device4209, which they are not able3201 to perform. 12 Therefore shalt thou make7896 them turn their back7926, when thou shalt make ready3559 thine arrows upon thy strings4340 against the face6440 of them.³⁴ 13 Be thou exalted7311, LORD3068, in thine own strength5797: so will we sing7891 and praise2167 thy power1369.
