[1] The king is glad, O LORD, because you gave him strength; he rejoices because you made him victorious. [2] You have given him his heart's desire; you have answered his request. [3] You came to him with great blessings and set a crown of gold on his head. [4] He asked for life, and you gave it, a long and lasting life. [5] His glory is great because of your help; you have given him fame and majesty. [6] Your blessings are with him forever, and your presence fills him with joy. [7] The king trusts in the LORD Almighty; and because of the LORD's constant love he will always be secure. [8] The king will capture all his enemies; he will capture everyone who hates him. [9] He will destroy them like a blazing fire when he appears. The LORD will devour them in his anger, and fire will consume them. [10] None of their descendants will survive; the king will kill them all. [11] They make their plans, and plot against him, but they will not succeed. [12] He will shoot his arrows at them and make them turn and run. [13] We praise you, LORD, for your great strength! We will sing and praise your power.
