For the end, a Psalm of David. 21:1 O
Lord, the king shall rejoice in thy strength; and in thy salvation he shall
greatly exult.
21:2 Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not withheld
from him the request of his lips. Pause.
21:3 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou has set
upon his head a crown of precious stone.
21:4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever and
ever.
21:5 His glory is great in thy salvation: thou wilt crown him with glory and
majesty.
21:6 For thou wilt give him a blessing for ever and ever: thou wilt gladden
him with joy with thy countenance.
21:7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest
he shall not be moved.
21:8 Let thy hand be found by all thine enemies: let thy right hand find all
that hate thee.
21:9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven at the time of thy presence: the
Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.
21:10 Thou shalt destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from
[among] the sons of men.
21:11 For they intended evils against thee; they imagined a device which
they shall by no means be able to perform.
21:12 For thou shalt make them [turn their] back in thy latter end, thou
wilt prepare their face.
21:13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: we will sing and praise thy
mighty acts. |
