Chapter 21

1


 

  To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.
The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!  

 

 

-

2


 

  You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah.)  

 

 

-

3


 

  For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.  

 

 

-

4


 

  He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.  

 

 

-

5


 

  His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.  

 

 

-

6


 

  For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.  

 

 

-

7


 

  For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.  

 

 

-

9


 

  You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.  

 

 

-

11


 

  For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.  

 

 

-

12


 

  Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.
