Psalms 21

¹The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord;

²Thou hast given him his heart’s desire,

³For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness:

⁴He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him,

⁵His glory is great in thy salvation:

⁶For thou hast made him most blessed for ever:

⁷For the king trusteth in the Lord,

⁸Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies:

⁹Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger:

¹⁰Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth,

¹¹For they intended evil against thee:

¹²Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back,

¹³Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength:
