[1] The king shall have joy in Your strength, O LORD; And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! [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 pure gold upon his head. [4] He asked life from You, and You gave it to him- Length of days forever and ever. [5] His glory is great in Your salvation; Honor and majesty You have placed upon him. [6] For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence. [7] For the king trusts in the LORD, And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved. [8] Your hand will find all Your enemies; Your right hand will find those who hate You. [9] You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger; The LORD shall swallow them up in His wrath, And the fire shall devour them. [10] Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men. [11] For they intended evil against You; They devised a plot which they are not able to perform. [12] Therefore You will make them turn their back; You will make ready Your arrows on Your string toward their faces. [13] Be exalted, O LORD, in Your own strength! We will sing and praise Your power.
