Psalms 21

Thomson(i) 1 For the conclusion. A Psalm by David. Lord, in thy strength, the king will rejoice; and exult greatly in thy salvation. 2 Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not denied him the request of his lips. 3 For thou hast pre-engaged him with kind blessings. Thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones. 4 He asked of thee life; and thou hast given him length of days forever. 5 By thy salvation his glory is great. Thou wilt confer on him honour and majesty. 6 For thou wilt give him everlasting blessing; and with the joy of thy countenance make him glad. 7 Because the king trusteth in the Lord: therefore, through the mercy of the Most High, he cannot be shaken. 8 Let thine enemies feel thy hand: and thy right hand find out all that hate thee. 9 Thou wilt make them like an oven of fire, at the time of thy presence. The Lord with his wrath will confound them, and a fire shall devour them. 10 Thou wilt destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from among the sons of men. 11 Because on thee they were turning evils. Were devising a counsel which they could not accomplish; 12 because thou wilt set them behind those thou hast left; wilt prepare others to be before them. 13 Be thou, Lord, exalted by thy power: let us sing and extol thy acts of government.
