| 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. -
