In this Psalm, David sings of a King
that is greater than he.
that is greater than he.
The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld
the request of his lips. Selah.
For you prevent him with the blessings of goodness: you set
a crown of pure gold on his head.
He asked life of you, and you gave it him, even length of
days for ever and ever. His glory is great in your salvation: honor and majesty have
you laid upon him. For you have made him most blessed for ever: You have made
him exceeding glad with your countenance.
For the king trust in the LORD, and through the mercy of the
most High he shall not be moved.
Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: your right hand
shall find out those that hate you.
You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his
wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
Their fruit shall you destroy from the earth, and their seed
from among the children of men.
For they intended evil against you: they imagined a
mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
Therefore shall you make them turn their back, when you
shall make ready your arrows upon your strings against the face of them. Be you exalted, LORD, in your own strength: so will we sing
and praise your power.
