| Thanksgiving for the King. Psalm 21(v20) | |||
| 1 | In your strength the king rejoices, O Yahweh; and in your help how greatly he exults! | ||
| 2 | You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. | ||
| 3 | For you meet him with goodly blessings; you set a crown of fine gold upon his head. | ||
| 4 | He asked life of you; you gave it to him, length of days for ever and ever. | ||
| 5 | His glory is great through your help; splendour and majesty you bestow upon him. | ||
| 6 | Yea, you make him most blessed for ever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence. | ||
| 7 | For the king trusts in Yahweh; and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved. | ||
| 8 | Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you. | ||
| 9 | You will make them as a blazing oven when you appear. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath; and fire will consume them. | ||
| 10 | You will destroy their offspring from the earth, and their children from among the sons of men. | ||
| 11 | If they plan evil against you, if they devise mischief, they will not succeed. | ||
| 12 | For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bows. | ||
| 13 | Be exalted, O Yahweh, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power. | ||
