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.

Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God, - Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into death:

For thou wilt not abandon my soul to hades, neither wilt thou suffer thy man of lovingkindness, to see corruption:

For, thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast granted a possession, unto them who revere thy Name.

Let thy compassions reach me, that I may live, for, thy law, is my dear delight.
