Book 1
Chap. 21
1 To the chief musician; a Psalm of David.
2 O Jehovah, in thy strength the king rejoiceth, and in thy salvation how exceedingly doth he exalt!
3 Thou hast given unto him the desire of his heart, and the request of his lips thou hast not withholden. Selah.
4 For thou meetest him [with] blessings of goodness, thou settest upon his head a crown of pure gold.
5 He asked life from thee; thou gavest [it] him—length of days forever and ever.
6 Great [is] his glory in thy salvation; majesty and honor thou puttest upon him.
7 For thou givest him blessings forever; thou makest him glad with joy by thy countenance.
8 For the king trusteth in Jehovah, and through the mercy of the Most High he is not moved.
9 Thy hand shall find out all thine enemies, thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
10 Thou wilt make them as a furnace of fire at the time of thy presence; Jehovah in his anger will consume them, and fire shall devour them.
11 Thou wilt destroy their fruit from the earth and their seed from among the sons of men.
12 For they stretched out evil over thee, they have devised a wicked device; they are not able.
13 For thou makest them to turn their back, when thou preparest thy strings against their face.
14 Lift thyself up, O Jehovah, in thy might; we will sing and praise thy power.
