After the battle

(Proverbs 21:1-31)
1
Yahweh, the man you made king is glad because you have caused him to be strong. He rejoices because you have enabled him to defeat his enemies.
2
You have given him everything he most desired, and you have not refused to do what he requested you to do.
3
You have done so many wonderful things for him. You placed a gold crown on his head.
4
He asked you to let him live for a long time, and you have enabled him to live for a long time.
5
His power as king is very great because you have allowed him to win victories over his enemies.
6
You will bless him forever, and you have caused him to be joyful in your presence.
7
Yahweh, you are God Almighty, and the king trusts in you. Because you faithfully love him, disastrous things will never happen to him.
8
You will enable him to kill all his enemies, all those who hate him.
9
When you appear, you will throw them into a fiery furnace. Because you are angry with them, you will swallow them up; the fire will burn them up.
10
You will remove their children from this earth; their descendants will all disappear.
11
They wanted to harm you, but what they plan will never succeed.
12
You will cause them to run away by shooting arrows at them.
13
Yahweh, show us that you are very strong! When you do that, we will sing and praise you because you are very powerful.

After the battle

(Proverbs 21:1-31)
1
The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
2
You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
3
For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4
He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.
5
His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.
6
For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.
7
For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
8
Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9
You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.
10
You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.
11
For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
12
For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.
13
Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
