The Psalms of David · Psalm 21

David rejoiced in God his strength, Raised to the throne by special grace; But Christ the Son appears at length, Fulfils the triumph and the praise.

How great is the Messiah's joy In the salvation of thy hand! Lord, thou hast raised his kingdom high, And giv'n the world to his command.

Thy goodness grants whate'er he will, Nor doth the least request withhold; Blessings of love prevent him still, And crowns of glory, not of gold.

Honor and majesty divine Around his sacred temples shine; Blest with the favor of thy face, And length of everlasting days.

Thine hand shall find out all his foes; And as a fiery oven glows With raging heat and living coals, So shall thy wrath devour their souls.
