1 | In thy strength the king rejoices, O LORD; and in thy help how greatly he exults! |
2 | Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withheld the request of his lips. [Selah] |
3 | For thou dost meet him with goodly blessings; thou dost set a crown of fine gold upon his head. |
4 | He asked life of thee; thou gavest it to him, length of days for ever and ever. |
5 | His glory is great through thy help; splendor and majesty thou dost bestow upon him. |
6 | Yea, thou dost make him most blessed for ever; thou dost make him glad with the joy of thy presence. |
7 | For the king trusts in the LORD; and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall 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 blazing oven when you appear. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath; and fire will consume them. |
10 | You will destroy their offspring from the earth, and their children from among the sons of men. |
11 | If they plan evil against you, if they devise mischief, they will not succeed. |
12 | For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bows. |
13 | Be exalted, O LORD, in thy strength! We will sing and praise thy power. |
