| Chapter 21 |
1 |
To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. 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 withheld the request of his lips. Selah. -
|
3 |
For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness: thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head. -
|
4 |
He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it to him, even length of days for ever and ever. -
|
5 |
His glory is great in thy salvation: honor 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 |
Thy hand shall find out all thy enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. -
|
9 |
Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thy 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 thy arrows upon thy strings against the face of them. -
|
13 |
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thy own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power. -
