Psalms of David 21
21
PSALM XXI.
C. M.
1THE king, O Lord, with songs of praise
Shall in thy strength rejoice;
With thy salvation crown’d, shall raise
To heav’n his cheerful voice.
2For thou, whate’er his lips request,
Not only dost impart;
But hast with thy acceptance blest
The wishes of his heart.
3Thy goodness and thy tender care
Have all his hopes outgone;
A crown of gold thou mak’st him wear,
And sett’st it firmly on.
4He pray’d for life, and thou, O Lord,
Didst to his prayer attend;
And graciously to him afford
A life that ne’er shall end.
5Thy sure defence through nations round
Has spread his glorious name;
And his successful actions crown’d
With majesty and fame.
6Eternal blessings thou bestow’st,
And mak’st his joys increase;
Whilst thou to him unclouded show’st
The brightness of thy face.
The Second Part.
7Because the king on God alone
For timely aid relies;
His mercy still supports his throne,
And all his wants supplies.
8But, righteous Lord, thy stubborn foes
Shall feel thy dreadful hand;
Thy vengeful arm shall find out those
That hate thy mild command.
9When thou against them dost engage,
Thy just but dreadful doom
Shall, like a glowing oven’s rage,
Their hopes and them consume.
10Nor shall thy furious anger cease,
Or with their ruin end;
But root out all their guilty race,
And to their seed extend,
11For all their thoughts were set on ill,
Their hearts on malice bent;
But thou, with watchful care, didst still
The ill effects prevent.
12While they their swift retreat shall make
To ’scape thy dreadful might,
Thy swifter arrows shall o’ertake,
And gall them in their flight.
13Thus, Lord, thy wondrous strength disclose,
And thus exalt thy fame;
Whilst we glad songs of praise compose
To thy almighty Name.
