Psalm 21:4

He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.

With long life will he be rewarded; and I will let him see my salvation.

For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

Let my voice come before you, and give me an answer, O Lord my God; let your light be shining on me, so that the sleep of death may not overtake me;

For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death.

May his name go on for ever, as long as the sun: may men be blessing themselves by him; may all nations be blessing his name.

His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.

His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me.

Let your gentle mercies come to me, so that I may have life; for your law is my delight.

Give life to my soul so that it may give you praise; and let your decisions be my support.

And I was dead, and see, I am living for ever, and I have the keys of death and of Hell.

For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death.

For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

Let your gentle mercies come to me, so that I may have life; for your law is my delight.
