Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 21
Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy strength, O Lord, makes glad our King
Who once in weakness bow'd the head,
Salvation makes His heart to sing,
For Thou hast raised Him from the dead.
2 Thou hast bestow'd His heart's desires,
Shower'd on His path Thy blessings down;
His royal pomp all heaven admires;
Thou on His head hast set the crown.
3 A life eternal as Thy years,
A glory infinite like Thine,
Repays Him for His groans and tears,
And fills His soul with joy divine.
4 O King, beloved of our souls,
Thine own right hand shall find Thy foes;
Swift o'er their necks Thy chariot rolls,
And earth Thy dreadful vengeance knows.
5 As glowing oven is Thy wrath,
As flame by furious blast upblown;
With equal heat Thy love breaks forth,
Like wall of fire around Thine own.
6 Be Thou exalted, King of kings,
In Thine own strength sit Thou on high,
Thy Church Thy triumph loudly sings,
And lauds Thy glorious majesty.
Charles H. Spurgeon, 1866.
