Chapter 21

  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!  

-

  Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah  

-

  For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.  

-

  He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever.  

-

  His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.  

-

  For thou makest him most blessed for ever: Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.  

-

  For the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.  

-

  Thy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.  

-

  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.  

-

  Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men.  

-

  For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.  

-

  For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.  

-

  Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power.
