[1] The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah; And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! [2] Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah [3] For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head. [4] He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever. [5] His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him. [6] For thou makest him most blessed for ever: Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence. [7] For the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved. [8] Thy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee. [9] Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger: Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them. [10] Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men. [11] For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform. [12] For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face. [13] Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power.
