[1] The king will rejoice in Your strength, O LORD, and in Your salvation how greatly will 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 on his head. [4] He asked life of You, and You gave it him, length of days forever and ever. [5] His glory is great in Your salvation; honor and majesty You set on him. [6] For You place blessings on him forever; You make him rejoice with gladness with Your presence. [7] For the king trusts in the LORD, and by the lovingkindness of the Most High he will not be moved. [8] Your hand will find out all Your enemies; Your right hand will find out those who hate You. [9] You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your appearance; the LORD will swallow them up in His wrath, and fire will devour them. [10] You will destroy their offspring from the earth, and their descendants from among the children of men. [11] For they intended evil against You; they devised evil thoughts they will not be able to accomplish. [12] For You will make them turn their back, when You aim with Your bowstrings against their face. [13] Be exalted, LORD, by Your strength; may we sing and make music to Your might.
