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. |
