Psalms 21
1The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; 1 And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! 1
2Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, 1 And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. 1
3For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: 1 Thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. 1
4He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, 1 Even length of days for ever and ever. 1
5His glory is great in thy salvation: 1 Honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. 1
6For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: 1 Thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. 1
7For the king trusteth in the Lord, 1 And through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. 1
8Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: 1 Thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. 1
9Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: 1 The Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. 1
10Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, 1 And their seed from among the children of men. 1
11For they intended evil against thee: 1 They imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. 1
12Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, 1 When thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them. 1
13Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength: 1 So will we sing and praise thy power.
