028) Psalm 21

Psalm 21 To the chief Musician a psalm of David.

6.6.8.6

1 JEHOVAH, in thy strength the King shall joyful be; and joy in thy salvation how vehemently shall he?

2 Thou of his heart to him hast granted the desire: and thou hast not withholden back, what his lips did require. Selah.

3 For thou dost with blessings of goodness prevent him: thou on his head of finest gold hast set a Diadem.

4 Of thee he asked life, to him thou gav’st it free, even length of days for evermore unto eternity.

5 In thy salvation his glory hath been great: honour, and comely dignity thou hast upon him set.

6 For thou him blessings set’st to perpetuity:

Thou mak’st him with thy countenance exceeding glad to be.

7 Because that in the Lord the King doth trust, and he through mercy of the highest one, shall not removed be.

8 Thine hand shall find out all that are thine enemies: thy right hand also shall find out those that do thee despise.

9 Thou set’st as fiery oven them in times of thine ire: the Lord will swallow them in’s wrath and them consume with fire.

10 Thou wilt destroy the fruit, that doth proceed of them, out of the earth: and their seed from among the Sons of men.

11 Because they evil have intended against thee: a wicked plot they have devis’d, but shall not able be.

12 For thou wilt as a butt them set; and thou wilt place thine arrows ready on thy string, full right against their face.

13 Lord, in thy fortitude exalted be on high: and we will sing; yea praise with psalms thy mighty pow’r will we.
