1.2 KiB
Psalm 21The King's Victory
-
Lord, the king finds joy in your strength. How greatly he rejoices in your victory!
-
You have given him his heart's desire and have not denied the request of his lips.Selah
-
For you meet him with rich blessings; you place a crown of pure gold on his head.
-
He asked you for life, and you gave it to him-- length of days forever and ever.
-
His glory is great through your victory; you confer majesty and splendor on him.
-
You give him blessings forever; you cheer him with joy in your presence.
-
For the king relies on the Lord; through the faithful love of the Most High he is not shaken.
-
Your hand will capture all your enemies; your right hand will seize those who hate you.
-
You will make them burn like a fiery furnace when you appear; the Lord will engulf them in his wrath, and fire will devour them.
-
You will wipe their progeny from the earth and their offspring from the human race.
-
Though they intend to harm you and devise a wicked plan, they will not prevail.
-
Instead, you will put them to flight when you ready your bowstrings to shoot at them.
-
Be exalted, Lord, in your strength; we will sing and praise your might.
