Psalm 21:1–13

The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord;

And ^ain thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

^2bThou hast given him his heart’s desire,

And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

³For thou ^cpreventest him with the blessings of goodness:

Thou ^dsettest a crown of ^epure gold on his head.

⁴He asked life of thee, and ^fthou gavest it him,

Even ^glength of days for ever and ever.

⁵His ^hglory is great in thy salvation:

ⁱHonour and ^himajesty hast thou ^jlaid upon him.

⁶For thou hast made him most blessed for ever:

^kThou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

⁷For the king trusteth in the Lord,

And through the mercy of the most High ^lhe shall not be moved.

⁸Thine hand shall ^mfind out all thine enemies:

Thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

⁹Thou shalt make them ⁿas a fiery oven in the time of thine ^oanger:

The Lord shall ^pswallow them up in his wrath, and ^qthe fire shall devour them.

^10rTheir fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth,

And their seed from among the children of men.

¹¹For they intended evil against thee:

^sThey imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

¹²Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back,

When thou shalt ^tmake ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.

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

So will we sing and praise thy power.
