Psalms 21

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!	1 [For the choirmaster Psalm Of David] Yahweh, the king rejoices in your power; How your saving helpfills him with joy!
2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.	2 You have granted him his heart's desire, not denied him the prayer of his lips.Pause
3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.	3 For you come to meet him with blessings of prosperity, put a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.	4 He has asked for life, you have given it him, length of days for ever and ever.
5 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.	5 Great his glory through your saving help; you invest him with splendour and majesty.
6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.	6 You confer on him everlasting blessings, you gladden him with the joy of your presence.
7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.	7 For the king puts his trust in Yahweh; the faithful love of the Most High wil keep him from fal ing.
8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.	8 Your hand wil reach all your enemies, your right hand al who hate you.
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.	9 You will hurl them into a blazing furnace on the day when you appear; Yahweh wil engulf them in his anger, and fire wil devour them.
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.	10 You wil purge the earth of their descendants, the human race of their posterity.
11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.	11 They have devised evil against you but, plot as they may, they will not succeed,
12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.	12 since you will make them turn tail, by shooting your arrows in their faces.
13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.	13 Rise, Yahweh, in your power! We wil sing and make music in honour of your strength.
