After the battle

(Proverbs 21:1-31)
1
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The King shall reioyce in thy strength, O Lord: yea how greatly shall he reioyce in thy saluation!
2
Thou hast giuen him his hearts desire, and hast not denyed him the request of his lips. Selah.
3
For thou diddest preuent him with liberall blessings, and didest set a crowne of pure gold vpon his head.
4
He asked life of thee, and thou gauest him a long life for euer and euer.
5
His glory is great in thy saluation: dignitie and honour hast thou laid vpon him.
6
For thou hast set him as blessings for euer: thou hast made him glad with the ioy of thy countenance.
7
Because the King trusteth in the Lord, and in the mercie of the most High, he shall not slide.
8
Thine hand shall finde out all thine enemies, and thy right hand shall finde out them that hate thee.
9
Thou shalt make them like a fierie ouen in time of thine anger: the Lord shall destroy them in his wrath, and the fire shall deuoure them.
10
Their fruite shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seede from the children of men.
11
For they intended euill against thee, and imagined mischiefe, but they shall not preuaile.
12
Therefore shalt thou put them aparte, and the strings of thy bowe shalt thou make readie against their faces.
13
Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: so will we sing and prayse thy power.

After the battle

(Proverbs 21:1-31)
1
The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
2
You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
3
For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4
He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.
5
His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.
6
For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.
7
For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
8
Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9
You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.
10
You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.
11
For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
12
For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.
13
Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
