| Chapter 21 |
1 |
{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} The king shall joy in thy strength, 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 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; thou gavest [it] him, length of days for ever and ever.
|
5 |
His glory is great through thy salvation; majesty and splendour hast thou laid upon him.
|
6 |
For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.
|
7 |
For the king confideth in Jehovah: and through the loving-kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.
|
8 |
Thy 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 furnace in the time of thy presence; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his anger, 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 could not execute.
|
12 |
For thou wilt make them turn their back; thou wilt make ready thy bowstring against their face.
|
13 |
Be thou exalted, Jehovah, in thine own strength: we will sing and celebrate thy power.
