The Book of Psalms, Chapter 21
|
| 1 |
The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation
how greatly shall he rejoice!
|
| 2 |
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden
the request of his lips. Selah.
|
| 3 |
For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou
settest 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.
|
| 5 |
His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou
laid upon him.
|
| 6 |
For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him
exceeding glad with thy countenance.
|
| 7 |
For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the
most High he shall not be moved.
|
| 8 |
Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall
find out those that hate thee.
|
| 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.
|
| 10 |
Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed
from among the children of men.
|
| 11 |
For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous
device, which they are not able to perform.
|
| 12 |
Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt
make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
|
| 13 |
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing
and praise thy power.
