¹(21) For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in your strength; and in your salvation he shall greatly exult.

¹The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

²You have granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. Pause.

²Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

³For you have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you have set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

³Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.

⁴He asked life of you, and you gave him length of days for ever and ever.

⁴Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

⁵His glory is great in your salvation: you will crown him with glory and majesty.

⁵We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

⁶For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.

⁶Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

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

⁷Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

⁸Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.

⁸They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

⁹You 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.

⁹Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.
