Psalm 21 📜 📕 ↷
After the Battle
1 UNTO the end for the morning enterprise, the Psalm of David.📜💬📚
2 God my God have respect to me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.📜💬📚
3 My God I shall cry by day, & thou wilt not hear: and by night, and not for folly unto me.📜💬📚
4 But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel.📜💬📚
5 In thee our fathers have hoped: they hoped, and thou didst deliver them.📜💬📚
6 They cried to thee, and were saved: they hoped in thee, and were not confounded.📜💬📚
7 But I am a worm and no man: a reproach of men and outcast of the people.📜💬📚
8 All that see me have scorned me: they have spoken with the lips, & wagged the head.📜💬📚
9 He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, because he will him.📜💬📚
10 Because thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.📜💬📚
11 Upon thee I have been cast from the matrice: from my mother's womb thou art my God,📜💬📚
12 depart not from me. Because tribulation is very nigh: because there is not that will help.📜💬📚
13 Many calves have compassed me: fat bulls have besieged me.📜💬📚
14 They have opened their mouth upon me, as a lion ravening and roaring.📜💬📚
15 As water I am poured out: and all my bones are dispersed. My heart is made as wax melting in the midst of my belly.📜💬📚
16 My strength is withered as a potsherd, and my tongue cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.📜💬📚
17 Because many dogs have compassed me: the counsel of the malignant hath besieged me. They have digged my hands and my feet:📜💬📚
18 they have numbered all my bones. But themselves have considered and beheld me:📜💬📚
19 they have divided my garments among them: and upon my vesture they have cast lot.📜💬📚
20 But thou Lord prolong not thy help from me: look toward my defence.📜💬📚
21 Deliver, o God, my soul from the sword: and mine only one from the hand of the dog.📜💬📚
22 Save me out of the lion's mouth: and my humility from the horns of unicorns.📜💬📚
23 I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the Church I will praise thee,📜💬📚
24 Ye that fear our Lord praise him: all the seed of Jacob glorify ye him.📜💬📚
25 Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath not contemned nor despised the petition of the poor. Neither hath he turned away his face from me: and when I cried to him he heard me,📜💬📚
26 With thee is my praise in the great Church: I will render my vows in the sight of them that fear him.📜💬📚
27 The poor shall eat, and shall be filled: and they shall praise our Lord that seek after him: their hearts shall live for ever and ever.📜💬📚
28 All the ends of the earth shall remember, and be converted to our Lord. And all the families of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight.📜💬📚
29 Because the kingdom is our Lord's: and he shall have dominion over the Gentiles.📜💬📚
30 All the fat ones of the earth have eaten, and adored: in his sight shall all fall that descend into the earth.📜💬📚
31 And my soul shall live to him: and my seed shall serve him.📜💬📚
32 The generation to come shall be shewed to our Lord: and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to the people that shall be born, whom our Lord hath made.📜💬📚
