- 1The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
- 2You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
- 3For you met him with the blessings of goodness; you set a crown of pure gold on his head.
- 4He asked life of you, and you gave it to him — length of days forever and ever.
- 5His glory is great in your salvation; honor and majesty you have laid upon him.
- 6For you have made him most blessed forever; you have made him glad with the joy of your presence.
- 7For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.
- 8Your hand shall find out all your enemies; your right hand shall find out those that hate you.
- 9You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger; the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
- 10You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
- 11For they intended evil against you. They imagined a harmful plan, which they are not able to perform.
- 12Therefore, you will make them turn their backs when you prepare your arrows on the strings aimed at their faces.
- 13Be exalted, LORD, in your own strength; so will we sing and praise your power.
