| Chapter 21 |
1 |
To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth. |
2 |
The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. Selah. |
3 |
For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold. |
4 |
Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever. |
5 |
Great is his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him. |
6 |
For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance. |
7 |
For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved. |
8 |
Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters. |
9 |
Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them. |
10 |
Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men. |
11 |
For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not, |
12 |
For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces. |
13 |
Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might! |
