1.3 KiB
1.3 KiB
Psalm 21
- How the king rejoices in your strength, O LORD!
He shouts with joy because you give him victory.
- For you have given him his heart's desire;
you have withheld nothing he requested. Interlude
- You welcomed him back with success and prosperity.
You placed a crown of finest gold on his head.
- He asked you to preserve his life,
and you granted his request.
The days of his life stretch on forever.
- Your victory brings him great honor,
and you have clothed him with splendor and majesty.
- You have endowed him with eternal blessings
and given him the joy of your presence.
- For the king trusts in the LORD.
The unfailing love of the Most High will keep him from stumbling.
- You will capture all your enemies.
Your strong right hand will seize all who hate you.
- You will throw them in a flaming furnace
when you appear. The LORD will consume them in his anger;
fire will devour them.
- You will wipe their children from the face of the earth;
they will never have descendants.
- Although they plot against you,
their evil schemes will never succeed.
- For they will turn and run
when they see your arrows aimed at them.
- Rise up, O LORD, in all your power.
With music and singing we celebrate your mighty acts.
