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. |
