To the chief Musician[H5329], A Psalm[H4210] of David[H1732]. The king[H4428] shall joy[H8055] in thy strength[H5797], O LORD[H3068]; and in thy salvation[H3444] how greatly[H3966] shall he rejoice[H1523]!
2
Thou hast given[H5414] him his heart's desire[H8378], and hast not withholden[H4513] the request[H782] of his lips[H8193]. Selah[H5542].
3
For thou preventest[H6923] him with the blessings[H1293] of goodness[H2896]: thou settest[H7896] a crown[H5850] of pure gold[H6337] on his head[H7218].
4
He asked[H7592]life[H2416] of thee, and thou gavest[H5414] it him, even length[H753] of days[H3117] for ever[H5769] and ever[H5703].
5
His glory[H3519] is great[H1419] in thy salvation[H3444]: honour[H1935] and majesty[H1926] hast thou laid[H7737] upon him.
6
For thou hast made[H7896] him most blessed[H1293] for ever[H5703]: thou hast made[H2302] him exceeding glad[H8057] with thy countenance[H6440].
7
For the king[H4428]trusteth[H982] in the LORD[H3068], and through the mercy[H2617] of the most High[H5945] he shall not be moved[H4131].
8
Thine hand[H3027] shall find out[H4672] all thine enemies[H341]: thy right hand[H3225] shall find out[H4672] those that hate[H8130] thee.
9
Thou shalt make[H7896] them as a fiery[H784]oven[H8574] in the time[H6256] of thine anger[H6440]: the LORD[H3068] shall swallow them up[H1104] in his wrath[H639], and the fire[H784] shall devour[H398] them.
10
Their fruit[H6529] shalt thou destroy[H6] from the earth[H776], and their seed[H2233] from among the children[H1121] of men[H120].
11
For they intended[H5186]evil[H7451] against thee: they imagined[H2803] a mischievous device[H4209], which they are not able[H3201] to perform.
12
Therefore shalt thou make[H7896] them turn their back[H7926], when thou shalt make[H7896]ready[H3559] thine arrows upon thy strings[H4340] against the face[H6440] of them.
13
Be thou exalted[H7311], LORD[H3068], in thine own strength[H5797]: so will we sing[H7891] and praise[H2167] thy power[H1369].
