The Book of Psalms
Psalm 20
Domine, in virtute.
Praise to God for Christ's exaltation after his passion.
 1 |
Unto the end. A psalm for David. |
2 |
In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly. |
3 |
Thou hast given him his heart's desire: and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips. |
4 |
For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones. |
5 |
He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever. |
6 |
His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him. |
7 |
For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance. |
8 |
For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. |
9 |
Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee. |
10 |
Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them. |
11 |
Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men. |
12 |
For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish. |
13 |
For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face. |
14 |
Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power. |
