Chapter 21 |
|
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. |
