| Chapter 21 |
1 | To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 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.
