Psalms 20 — LXXSB

(21) For the end, a Psalm of David.

20Verse 1O Lord, the king shall rejoice in your strength; and in your salvation he shall greatly exult.
^{Verse 2}You have granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. Pause.
^{Verse 3}For you have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you have set upon his head a crown of precious stone.
^{Verse 4}He asked life of you, and you gave him length of days for ever and ever.
^{Verse 5}His glory is great in your salvation: you will crown him with glory and majesty.
^{Verse 6}For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.
^{Verse 7}For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.
^{Verse 8}Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.
^{Verse 9}You shall make them as a fiery oven at the time of your presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.
^{Verse 10}You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from amongst the sons of men.
^{Verse 11}For they intended evils against you; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.
^{Verse 12}For you shall make them turn their back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.
^{Verse 13}Be you exalted, O Lord, in your strength: we will sing and praise your mighty acts.
