Psalm 21

 

1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! 2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire and hast not withheld the request of his lips. Selah. 3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness; thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. 4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. 5 His glory is great in thy salvation; honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him. 6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever; thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. 7 For the king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the most High, he shall not be moved. 8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. 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. 10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth and their seed from among the children of men. 11 For they intended evil against thee; they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. 12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them. 13 Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength; so will we sing and praise thy power. Prayer :

Abba Father,

We come before you with hearts full of joy and gratitude, acknowledging your strength and salvation. We rejoice in your mighty power, and we thank you for granting the desires of our hearts.

You go before us with blessings of goodness, adorning us with the crown of your favor. You have given us life and the promise of eternal days. Your glory is great in our salvation; you have honored us with honor and majesty.

We trust in you, O Lord, and find our stability in your mercy. May we not be moved, for your hand is mighty to find and overcome our enemies. In times of trouble, be a fiery oven against those who oppose us, and let your righteous judgment prevail.

We pray for the destruction of evil plans against us, and that the seeds of malice sown by our enemies may not take root. Your arrows, O Lord, are ready, and we trust in your protection and deliverance.

Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength, and we will sing praises to your power. We acknowledge your sovereignty and declare that you alone are worthy of our worship.

In the name of Jesus, we pray.

Amen.
