[1] TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, the king is joyful in Your strength, || How greatly he rejoices in Your salvation. [2] You gave the desire of his heart to him, || And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah. [3] For You put blessings of goodness before him, || You set a crown of fine gold on his head. [4] He has asked for life from You, || You have given length of days to him, || For all time and forever. [5] Great [is] his glory in Your salvation, || You place splendor and majesty on him. [6] For You make him blessings forever, || You cause him to rejoice with joy, || By Your countenance. [7] For the king is trusting in YHWH, || And in the kindness of the Most High he is not moved. [8] Your hand comes to all Your enemies, || Your right hand finds Your haters. [9] You make them as a furnace of fire, || At the time of Your presence. YHWH swallows them in His anger, || And fire devours them. [10] You destroy their fruit from earth, || And their seed from the sons of men. [11] For they stretched out evil against You, || They devised a wicked scheme, they do not prevail, [12] For You make them turn their back, || When You prepare Your strings against their faces. [13] Be exalted, O YHWH, in Your strength, || We sing and we praise Your might!
