029) Psalm 21
8.6.8.6.
1 The King, O lord, with songs of praise shall in thy strength rejoice; With thy salvation crowned, shall raise to heav’n his cheerful voice.
2 For thou, what’er his lips request, not only didst impart; But hast with thy acceptance blest the wishes of his heart.
3 Thy goodness and thy tender care have all his hopes outgone; A crown of gold thou mad’st him wear< and sett’st it firmly on.
4 He prayed for life, and thou, O Lord, didst his short span extend; And graciously to him afford a life that ne’er shall end.
5 Thy sure defense through nations round has spread his glorious name; And his successful actions crowned with majesty and fame.
6 Eternal blessings thou bestow’st, and mak’st his joys increase;
Whilst thou to him unclouded show’st the brightness of thy face.
