[1] The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation! [2] You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah. [3] For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head. [4] He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever. [5] His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him. [6] For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence. [7] For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved. [8] Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you. [9] You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them. [10] You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men. [11] For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed. [12] For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face. [13] Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
