Psalms

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
    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
    thou laid upon him.

  6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever
    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
    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
    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
    and praise thy power.
