Psalms of David 21
21
Domine, in virtute.
Psalm XXI.
T. S.
1O Lord, how joyful is the King
in thy strength and in thy Power!
Exceedingly he doth rejoice
in thee his Saviour.
2For thou hast given unto him
his godly Hearts desire:
To him nothing thou hast deny’d
of that he did require.
3Thou didst prevent him with thy Gifts
and blessings manifold,
And thou hast set upon his head
a Crown of perfect Gold.
4And when he asked Life of thee,
thereof thou maid’st him sure,
To have long life, yea, such a Life
as ever shall endure.
5Great is his glory by thy help,
thy benefit and aid:
Great worship and great honour both
thou hast upon him laid.
6Thou wilt give him felicity,
that never shall decay,
And with thy chearful countenance
wilt comfort him alway.
7Because the King doth strongly trust
in God for to prevail:
Therefore his goodness and his grace
to save him will not fail.
8Thine Enemies shall feel thy force,
and those that thee withstand:
Find out thy Fooes, and let them feel
the power of thy right Hand.
9And like an Oven burn them, Lord,
in fiery flame and fume:
Thine anger shall destroy them all
and fire shall them consume.
10And thou shalt root out of the earth
their fruit that should increase:
And from the number of thy folk
their seed shall end and cease.
11For why? much mischief they contriv’d
against thy holy Name:
Yet did they fail, and had no power
for to perform the same.
12But as a mark thou hast them set
in a most open place,
And charge thy Bow‐strings readily
against their very face.
13Be thou exalted, Lord, therefore
in thy strength every hour:
So shall we sing right solemnly
praising thy might and power.
