Chapter - 21

1The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2Thou have given him his heart's desire, and have not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
3For you preventest him with the blessings of goodness: you settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
4He asked life of thee, and you gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
5His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty have you laid upon him.
6For you have made him most blessed for ever: you have made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7For the king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8Thine hand shall find out all your enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
9Thou shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10Their fruit shall you destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
12Therefore shall you make them turn their back, when you shall make ready your arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
13Be you exalted, Lord, in your own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
