Praise for Deliverance.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
21 O Lord, in Your strength the king will (A)be glad,
And in Your salvation how greatly he will rejoice!
2 You have (B)given him his heart’s desire,
And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
3 For You (C)meet him with the blessings of good things;
You set a (D)crown of fine gold on his head.
4 He asked life of You,
You (E)gave it to him,
(F)Length of days forever and ever.
5 His (G)glory is great through Your salvation,
(H)Splendor and majesty You place upon him.
6 For You make him most (I)blessed forever;
You make him joyful (J)with gladness in Your presence.
7 For the king (K)trusts in the Lord,
And through the lovingkindness of the Most High (L)he will not be shaken.
8 Your hand will (M)find out all your enemies;
Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9 You will make them (N)as a fiery oven in the time of your anger;
The Lord will (O)swallow them up in His wrath,
And (P)fire will devour them.
10 Their offspring You will destroy from the earth,
And their (Q)descendants from among the sons of men.
11 Though they (R)intended evil against You
And (S)devised a plot,
They will not succeed.
12 For You will (T)make them turn their back;
You will aim (U)with Your bowstrings at their faces.
13 Be exalted, O Lord, in Your strength;
We will (V)sing and praise Your power.
