Psalm 21:1-13
After the Battle
0 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
0:
1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
1:
2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
2:
3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
3:
4 He asked life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] him, [even] length of days for ever and ever.
4:
5 His glory [is] great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
5:
6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
6:
7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
7:
8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
8:
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
9:
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
10:
11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform].
11:
12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when] thou shalt make ready [thine arrows] upon thy strings against the face of them.
12:
13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: [so] will we sing and praise thy power.
13:
