[1] The king finds joy in your strength, O LORD. What great joy he has in your victory! [2] You gave him his heart's desire. You did not refuse the prayer from his lips. Selah [3] You welcomed him with the blessings of good things and set a crown of fine gold on his head. [4] He asked you for life. You gave him a long life, forever and ever. [5] Because of your victory his glory is great. You place splendor and majesty on him. [6] Yes, you made him a blessing forever. You made him glad with the joy of your presence. [7] Indeed, the king trusts the LORD, and through the mercy of the Most High, he will not be moved. [8] Your hand will discover all your enemies. Your powerful hand will find all who hate you. [9] When you appear, you will make them burn like a blazing furnace. The LORD will swallow them up in his anger. Fire will devour them. [10] You will destroy their children from the earth and their offspring from among Adam's descendants. [11] Although they scheme and plan evil against you, they will not succeed. [12] They turn their backs and flee because you aim your bow at their faces. [13] Arise, O LORD, in your strength. We will sing and make music to praise your power.
