Psalm 21 - American Standard Version 20151 {\b For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.}\par\par\tab The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah;\par\tab And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! 2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire,\par\tab And hast not withholden the request of his lips. {\i Selah 3 For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness:\par\tab Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head. 4 He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him,\par\tab Even length of days for ever and ever. 5 His glory is great in thy salvation:\par\tab Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him. 6 For thou makest him most blessed for ever:\par\tab Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence. 7 For the king trusteth in Jehovah;\par\tab And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved. 8 Thy hand will find out all thine enemies;\par\tab Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee. 9 Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger:\par\tab Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath,\par\tab And the fire shall devour them. 10 Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth,\par\tab And their seed from among the children of men. 11 For they intended evil against thee;\par\tab They conceived a device which they are not able to perform. 12 For thou wilt make them turn their back;\par\tab Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face. 13 Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength:\par\tab So will we sing and praise thy power.\par |
