For the end, a Psalm of David.

21:1 O Lord, the king shall rejoice in thy strength; and in thy salvation he shall greatly exult.

21:2 Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not withheld from him the request of his lips. Pause.

21:3 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

21:4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever and ever.

21:5 His glory is great in thy salvation: thou wilt crown him with glory and majesty.

21:6 For thou wilt give him a blessing for ever and ever: thou wilt gladden him with joy with thy countenance.

21:7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

21:8 Let thy hand be found by all thine enemies: let thy right hand find all that hate thee.

21:9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven at the time of thy presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

21:10 Thou shalt destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.

21:11 For they intended evils against thee; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

21:12 For thou shalt make them [turn their] back in thy latter end, thou wilt prepare their face.

21:13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: we will sing and praise thy mighty acts.
