Psalms 21

Psalms 21:5

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and m the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions. In confidence of thy help we will shout when we set upon our enemies; in thy power and might we will advance courageously against them: for the Lord will not fail to grant the petitions of our sovereign;.whose cause is so just, and who hath been so insolently treated by them, (2 Sam. x. 3, 4.)

Psalms 21:6

Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed: he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. This is the assured hope of every soul of us; we are as certain as if he had already obtained it, that the Lord will make him victorious: for he reigns by his special appointment: who, as he infinitely excels in strength, and commands all the hosts of heaven; so will declare the exceeding greatness of his power, in giving him an illustrious deliverance.

Psalms 21:7

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God,,. We are not daunted at the vast numbers of our confederate enemies; some of which boast of their chariots, others of their horses: but to all these we oppose the mighty power of the Lord, who hath heretofore done such great things for us.

Psalms 21:8

Tltey are brought down and fallen; but we are risen, and stand upright. And we triumph beforehand, saying, they are thrown down from their chariots, and fallen from their horses, wherein they trusted: but we, whom they despised, are erect and stand unmoveable, merely by our confidence in the Lord..

Psalms 21:9

Save, Lord: let the king hear us wlien we call. Let it be unto us, O Lord, according to our desires and our hopes: preserve our king; and, in the day when wo cry unto thee for help, make our armies victorious.
