[1] LORD, your strength makes the king happy. He is so happy when you give him victory. [2] And you gave him what he wanted. You gave him what he asked for. Selah [3] You gave the king such wonderful blessings. You put a golden crown on his head. [4] He asked for life, and you gave it. You gave him life that goes on forever. [5] You led him to victory that brought him great glory. You gave him honor and fame. [6] You have given him blessings that will last forever. You have given him the joy of being near you. [7] The king trusts in the LORD, and the faithful love of God Most High will keep him from falling. [8] Lord, you will show all your enemies that you are strong. Your power will defeat those who hate you. [9] When you appear, you will burn them up like a blazing furnace. In your anger, LORD, you will completely destroy them; they will be swallowed by flames of fire. [10] Their families will be destroyed. They will be removed from the earth. [11] That is because they made evil plans against you. They wanted to do things they could not do. [12] You will make them turn and run away when you aim your arrows at their faces. [13] LORD, we lift you up with our songs of praise. We sing and play songs about your power!
