PSALME 21. (Book 21)

A Prayer for the King.

THe King shall rejoyce in thy strength, O Lord: exceeding glad shall he be of thy salva∣tion.

2 Thou hast given him his hearts desire: and hast not denied him the request of his lips.

3 For thou shalt prevent him with the bles∣sings of goodnesse: and shalt set a Crowne of pure gold upon his head.

4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him a long life: even for ever and ever.

5 His honour is great in thy salvation: glory and great worship shalt thou lay upon him.

6 For thou shalt give him everlasting felici∣ty: and make him glad with the joy of thy coun∣tenance.

7 And why? because the King putteth his trust in the Lord: and in the mercy of the most Highest he shall not miscarry.

8 All thine enemies shall feel thine hand: thy right hand shall find out them that hate thee.

9 Thou shalt make them like a fiery oven in time of thy wrath: the Lord shall destroy them in his displeasure, and the fire shall consume them.

10 Their fruit shalt thou root out of the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.

11 For they intended mischiefe against thee: and imagined such a device as they are not able to perform.

12 Therefore shalt thou put them to flight: and the strings of thy bow shalt thou make ready against the face of them.

13 Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

The Prayer.

O Eternall God, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, have mercy upon thy servant the King; as thou hast set a Crowne of gold upon his head, and given him power and command to rule thy people with justice and piety, so doe thou heare the request of his lipps, grant him the desire of his heart, and prevent both his desires and re∣quests with the blessings of thy goodnesse: give him great honour and Reverence in the sight of his People, and of all the Nations round about: let all his enemies feele thine hand, and put them to flight that arise up against him, that when thou hast given him the blessings of a long life and prosperous, and made him glad with the joy of thy countenance, at last he may be crown'd with everlasting felicity, and reigne with thee in thy eternall Kingdome, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
