1 O Lord, in Your strength the king will be glad, And in Your salvation how greatly he will rejoice!

2 Y ou have given him his heart’s desire, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

3 F or You meet him with the blessings of good things; You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 H e asked life of You, You gave it to him, Length of days forever and ever.

5 H is glory is great through Your salvation, Splendor and majesty You place upon him.

6 F or You make him most blessed forever; You make him joyful with gladness in Your presence.

7 F or the king trusts in the Lord, And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he will not be shaken.

8 Y our hand will find out all your enemies; Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

9 Y ou 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 T heir offspring You will destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men.

11 T hough they intended evil against You And devised a plot, They will not succeed.

12 F or You will make them turn their back; You will aim with Your bowstrings at their faces.

13 B e exalted, O Lord, in Your strength; We will sing and praise Your power.
