[1] LORD, the king rejoices because of your strength; he is so happy when you save him! [2] You gave the king what he wanted and did not refuse what he asked for. Selah [3] You put good things before him and placed a gold crown on his head. [4] He asked you for life, and you gave it to him, so his years go on and on. [5] He has great glory because you gave him victories; you gave him honor and praise. [6] You always gave him blessings; you made him glad because you were with him. [7] The king truly trusts the LORD. Because God Most High always loves him, he will not be overwhelmed. [8] Your hand is against all your enemies; those who hate you will feel your power. [9] When you appear, you will burn them as in a furnace. In your anger you will swallow them up, and fire will burn them up. [10] You will destroy their families from the earth; their children will not live. [11] They made evil plans against you, but their traps won't work. [12] You will make them turn their backs when you aim your arrows at them. [13] Be supreme, LORD, in your power. We sing and praise your greatness.
