21:1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth. 21:2 The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. Selah. 21:3 For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold. 21:4 Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever. 21:5 Great [is] his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him. 21:6 For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance. 21:7 For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved. 21:8 Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters. 21:9 Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them. 21:10 Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men. 21:11 For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not, 21:12 For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces. 21:13 Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might! 21:14 To the Overseer, on `The Hind of the Morning.' -- A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring?
