Psalm 21.
To the Chief Musician, the Psalm of David.
The King shall joy in thy strength, O Lord, and in thy salvation how greatly
shall he rejoice.
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his
lips, Selah.
For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness, thou settest a crown of pure
gold on his head.
He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days, forever and
ever.
His glory is great in thy salvation, honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
For thou hast made him most blessed forever, thou hast made him exceeding glad
with thy countenance.
For the King trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he
shall not be moved.
Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies, thy right hand shall find out
those that hate thee, 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.
Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the
children of men.
For they intended evil against thee, they imagined a mischievous device,
which they are not able to perform.
Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine
arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength.
So will we sing and praise thy power.
