PSALM 21 Be Thou ExaltedThe King shall joy in thy strengthThy salvation, how greatly he shall rejoice You've given him his heart's desire Not withheld his request Preventest him, with the blessings of goodness Thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head (Gold on his head) He asked life of thee, you gave it him (Aah, aah) Even length of day (Aah) For ever and ever (For ever and ever) His glory is great in thy salvation (Ahh) Honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him (Majesty) For thou has made him most blessed for ever Thou has made him exceeding glad with thy countenance The king trusteth in the Lord And through mercy of the Most High He shall not be moved Thine hand shall find out thine enemies Thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee (Right hand) Thou shall make them as a fiery oven (Make them) In the time of thine anger The Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath (Swallow) And the fire shall devour me Their fruit shall thou destroy from the Earth And their seed from among the children of men For they intended evil against thee They imagined a mischievous device Which they are not able to perform Therefore thou shalt make them turn their back When thou shalt make ready thine arrows Upon the strings against the face of them Be thou exalted, Lord In thine own strength So will we sing And praise thy power |
