Psalm 21:4

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

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.

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.
