The Psalms
The Psalms 21
Praise for Deliverance from the Enemy |
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. |
|
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:
|
thou 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:
|
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 |
Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies:
|
thy right hand 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:
|
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 thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them. |
|
|
13 |
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength:
|
so will we sing and praise thy power. |
