Psalm 21:2–8

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

8 Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies;

your right hand will seize your foes.

2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire,

And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

Even length of days for ever and ever.

you have withheld nothing he requested.
