GOODMORNING

Psalm 21

 ¹Our LORD, your mighty power

   makes the king glad,

   and he celebrates victories

   that you have given him.

    ²You did what he wanted most

   and never told him “No.”

    ³You truly blessed the king,

   and you placed on him

   a crown of finest gold.

    ⁴He asked to live a long time,

   and you promised him life

   that never ends.

    ⁵The king is highly honored.

   You have let him win victories

   that have made him famous.

    ⁶You have given him blessings

   that will last forever,

   and you have made him glad

   by being so near to him.

    ⁷LORD Most High,

   the king trusts you,

   and your kindness

   keeps him from defeat.

    ⁸With your mighty arm, LORD,

   you will strike down

   all of your hateful enemies.

    ⁹They will be destroyed by fire

   once you are here,

   and because of your anger,

   flames will swallow them.

    ¹⁰You will wipe their families

   from the earth,

   and they will disappear.

    ¹¹All their plans to harm you

   will come to nothing.

    ¹²You will make them run away

   by shooting your arrows

   at their faces.

    ¹³Show your strength, LORD,

   so that we may sing

   and praise your power.
