| Chapter 20 |
1 |
Unto the end. A psalm for David.
|
2 |
In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.
|
3 |
Thou hast given him his heart's desire: end hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.
|
4 |
For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
|
5 |
He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.
|
6 |
His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.
|
7 |
For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.
|
8 |
For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
|
9 |
Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.
|
10 |
Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.
|
11 |
Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.
|
12 |
For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.
|
13 |
For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.
|
14 |
Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.
