PSALM 21. Domine, in virtute tua.
The King shall rejoice in thy strength, O Lord: exceeding glad shall he be of thy salvation.
2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire: and hast not denied him the request of his lips.
3 For thou shalt prevent him with the blessings of goodness: and shalt set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him a long life: even for ever and ever.
5 His honour is great in thy salvation: glory and great worship shalt thou lay upon him.
6 For thou shalt give him everlasting felicity: and make him glad with the joy of thy countenance.
7 And why? because the King putteth his trust in the Lord: and in the mercy of the most Highest he shall not miscarry.
8 All thine enemies shall feel thine hand: thy right hand shall find out them that hate thee.
9 Thou shalt make them like a fiery oven in time of thy wrath: the Lord shall destroy them in his displeasure, and the fire shall consume them.
