| Chapter 21 |
1 | For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah; 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 meetest him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head. |
4 | He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever. |
5 | His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him. |
6 | For thou makest him most blessed for ever: Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence. |
7 | For the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved. |
8 | Thy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee. |
9 | Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger: Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them. |
10 | Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men. |
11 | For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform. |
12 | For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face. |
13 | Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power. |
