Psalms 21

¹To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The King shall reioyce in thy strength, O Lord: yea how greatly shall he reioyce in thy saluation!

²Thou hast giuen him his hearts desire, and hast not denyed him the request of his lips. Selah.

³For thou diddest preuent him with liberall blessings, and didest set a crowne of pure gold vpon his head.

⁴He asked life of thee, and thou gauest him a long life for euer and euer.

⁵His glory is great in thy saluation: dignitie and honour hast thou laid vpon him.

⁶For thou hast set him as blessings for euer: thou hast made him glad with the ioy of thy countenance.

⁷Because the King trusteth in the Lord, and in the mercie of the most High, he shall not slide.

⁸Thine hand shall finde out all thine enemies, and thy right hand shall finde out them that hate thee.

⁹Thou shalt make them like a fierie ouen in time of thine anger: the Lord shall destroy them in his wrath, and the fire shall deuoure them.

¹⁰Their fruite shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seede from the children of men.

¹¹For they intended euill against thee, and imagined mischiefe, but they shall not preuaile.

¹²Therefore shalt thou put them aparte, and the strings of thy bowe shalt thou make readie against their faces.

¹³Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: so will we sing and prayse thy power.
