­PSA 21:1  The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how

 greatly shall he rejoice!

 

­PSA 21:2  Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the

 request of his lips. Selah.

 

­PSA 21:3  For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest

 a crown of pure gold on his head.

 

­PSA 21:4  He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days

 for ever and ever.

 

­PSA 21:5  His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou

 laid upon him.

 

­PSA 21:6  For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him

 exceeding glad with thy countenance.

 

­PSA 21:7  For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most

 High he shall not be moved.

 

­PSA 21:8  Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall

 find out those that hate thee.

 

­PSA 21:9  Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the

 LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

 

­PSA 21:10  Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from

 among the children of men.

 

­PSA 21:11  For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous

 device, which they are not able to perform.

 

­PSA 21:12  Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make

 ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.

 

­PSA 21:13  Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and

 praise thy power.

 

­PSA 22:1  My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from

 helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

 

­PSA 22:2  O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the

 night season, and am not silent.

 

­PSA 22:3  But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

 

­PSA 22:4  Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver

 them.

 

­PSA 22:5  They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and

 were not confounded.

 

­PSA 22:6  But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the

 people.

 

­PSA 22:7  All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they

 shake the head, saying,

 

­PSA 22:8  He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver

 him, seeing he delighted in him.

 

­PSA 22:9  But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope

 when I was upon my mother's breasts.

 

­PSA 22:10  I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's

 belly.

 

­PSA 22:11  Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

 

­PSA 22:12  Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me

 round.

 

­PSA 22:13  They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring

 lion.

 

­PSA 22:14  I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my

 heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

 

­PSA 22:15  My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to

 my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

 

­PSA 22:16  For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed

 me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

 

­PSA 22:17  I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

 

­PSA 22:18  They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

 

­PSA 22:19  But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to

 help me.

 

­PSA 22:20  Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the

 dog.

 

­PSA 22:21  Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns

 of the unicorns.

 

­PSA 22:22  I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the

 congregation will I praise thee.

 

­PSA 22:23  Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify

 him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

 

­PSA 22:24  For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the

 afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him,

 he heard.

 

­PSA 22:25  My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my

 vows before them that fear him.

 

­PSA 22:26  The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that

 seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

 

­PSA 22:27  All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and

 all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

 

­PSA 22:28  For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the

 nations.

 

­PSA 22:29  All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that

 go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own

 soul.

 

­PSA 22:30  A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a

 generation.

 

­PSA 22:31  They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people

 that shall be born, that he hath done this.
