[1] LORD, the king finds joy in your strength. How greatly he rejoices in your victory! [2] You have given him his heart's desire and have not denied the request of his lips. Selah [3] For you meet him with rich blessings; you place a crown of pure gold on his head. [4] He asked you for life, and you gave it to him- length of days forever and ever. [5] His glory is great through your victory; you confer majesty and splendor on him. [6] You give him blessings forever; you cheer him with joy in your presence. [7] For the king relies on the LORD; through the faithful love of the Most High he is not shaken. [8] Your hand will capture all your enemies; your right hand will seize those who hate you. [9] You will make them burn like a fiery furnace when you appear; the LORD will engulf them in his wrath, and fire will devour them. [10] You will wipe their progeny from the earth and their offspring from the human race. [11] Though they intend to harm you and devise a wicked plan, they will not prevail. [12] Instead, you will put them to flight when you ready your bowstrings to shoot at them. [13] Be exalted, LORD, in your strength; we will sing and praise your might.
