The Book of Psalms 21

Text size

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 honour 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 ⚑
