PSALM XXI.

[ 1] O Lord, how joyful is the King, With thy Salvation blest! [ 2] Thou'st given him his heart's desire, And granted his Request. [ 3] Prevented by thy wondrous Love, A splendid Crown he wears: [ 4] The Life he asked was prolong'd T' innumerable Years. [ 5] By thee preserv'd his Glory's great, With Majesty array'd. [ 6] By thee He's ever highly blest, And in thy favour glad. [ 7] The King do's on the Lord rely, Whose grace will make him stand: [ 8] But those that are thy foes, shall know The Terrour of thy hand. [ 9] Thy flaming wrath shall them devour, [ 10] And all their Seed root out: [ 11] Repay the Mischief they design'd, But could not bring about. [ 12] These shall be made the Mark, at which Thy killing Arrows aim: [ 13] Thus, Lord, exalt thy Pow'r, and we Will sing and praise thy Name.
