1 T he king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah; And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

2 T hou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah

3 F or thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 H e asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever.

5 H is glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.

6 F or thou makest him most blessed for ever: Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.

7 F or the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

8 T hy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.

9 T hou 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 T heir fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men.

11 F or they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

12 F or thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.

13 B e thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power.
