[1] Lord, in Your strength the king will be glad, And in Your salvation how greatly he will rejoice! [2] You have given him his heart’s desire, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah [3] For You meet him with the blessings of good things; You set a crown of pure gold on his head. [4] He asked for life from You, You gave it to him, Length of days forever and ever. [5] His glory is great through Your salvation, Splendor and majesty You place upon him. [6] For You make him most blessed forever; You make him joyful with the joy of Your presence. [7] For the king trusts in the Lord, And through the faithfulness of the Most High he will not be shaken. [8] Your hand will find all your enemies; Your right hand will find those who hate you. [9] You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger; The Lord will swallow them up in His wrath, And fire will devour them. [10] You will eliminate their descendants from the earth, And their children from among the sons of mankind. [11] Though they intended evil against You And devised a plot, They will not succeed. [12] For You will make them turn their back; You will take aim at their faces with Your bowstrings. [13] Be exalted, Lord, in Your strength; We will sing and praise Your power.
