Psalm 21

¹The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
²Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
³For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
⁴He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
⁵His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
⁶For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

Psalm 23

¹The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
²He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
³He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
⁵Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

11And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
²But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
³And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.
⁴And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the Lord, and shewed them the king’s son.
⁹And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
¹⁰And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David’s spears and shields, that were in the temple of the Lord.
¹¹And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.
¹²And he brought forth the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.
¹³And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the Lord.
¹⁴And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.
¹⁵But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the Lord.
¹⁶And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king’s house: and there was she slain.

¹⁶At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.
¹⁷Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
¹⁸And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
