PSALM 21
v.1-9
L. M.
Christ exalted to the kingdom.
40 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. | |
