Psalm 21: Yshua’s blessings to leaders who rejoice in Him and trust Him

1: To the first melody of David.

 

In Your strength

rejoicing is a king

And In Your Jesus,

how much more gladly.

2: You gave His heart’s desires

to him

You never withheld

A wish on his lips (unspoken).

 

Ponder that!

 

3: For approaching him

are Your blessings of goodness

Setting on his head

is a crown of refined gold. (Not regular gold)

4: he asked for life from You

You gave him days of forever-and-ever length!

5: His great glory is in Your Jesus.

On him – Resembling (Jesus’) honour and glory!

6: Setting on him blessings forever

Making him overjoyed with your Face

 

7: Because of mercy of the Most High

A trusting-YHWH king is not shaken.

8: Your hand will find all your obstructers

Your right hand will find your haters.

9: You are facing them,

like (them facing) a fiery oven.

In a temper (nostril), YHWH gulps them down,

eats them up.

10: You will make their fruit (current profit) rot away from the land

And their seed (future plans) from the sons of men.

11: for they spread out evil over you, planned a purpose (for you)

They are being disabled.

12: Tightening a (bow)string against shoulder,

you are setting (aiming it) to their faces.

YHWH is exalted in your strength

We sing, we make music about your might.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, may our leaders rejoice and trust in You. And may You be exalted in their strength. Amen.
