(KJV) Psalm 211

<< Psalm 20 Psalm 22 >>

⥃After the Battle [ Proverbs 21:1–31 ]

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

[1] The king2 shall joy3 in thy4 strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! [2] Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.5 [3] For thou preventest6 him with the blessings7 of goodness: thou settest8 a crown of pure gold on his head. [4] He asked9 life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] him, [even] length10 of days for ever and ever. [5] His glory11 [is] great in thy salvation: honour12 and majesty hast thou laid upon him. [6] For thou hast made13 him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad14 with thy countenance. [7] For the15 king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the most16 High he shall17 not be moved. [8] Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.18 [9] Thou19 shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the Lord20 shall swallow them up in his21 wrath, and the fire22 shall devour them. [10] Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.23 [11] For they intended evil against thee: they imagined24 a mischievous device, [which] they are not25 able [to perform]. [12] Therefore26 shalt thou make27 them turn their back28, [when] thou shalt29 make ready [thine arrows] upon thy strings against the face of them. [13] Be thou30 exalted, Lord, in thine own strength: [so] will31 we sing and praise thy power.
