“1 <<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.>> The king shall joy in
thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the
request of his lips. Selah. 3 For thou preventest him with the blessings
of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. 4 He asked
life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] him, [even] length of days for ever
and ever. 5 His glory [is] great in thy salvation: honour and majesty
hast thou laid upon him. 6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever:
thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.”
“7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the
most High he shall not be moved. 8 Thine hand shall find out all thine
enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. 9 Thou
shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD
shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. 10
Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among
the children of men. 11 For they intended evil against thee: they
imagined a mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform].
12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when] thou shalt
make ready [thine arrows] upon thy strings against the face of them. 13
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: [so] will we sing and
praise thy power.” (Psalm 21:1-13 AV)
