For the Leader. A Psalm of David.
—
O LORD, in Thy strength the king rejoiceth; and in Thy salvation how greatly doth he exult!
—
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and the request of his lips Thou hast not withholden. Selah
—
For Thou meetest him with choicest blessings; Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.
—
He asked life of Thee, Thou gavest it him; even length of days for ever and ever.
—
His glory is great through Thy salvation; Honour and majesty dost Thou lay upon him.
—
For Thou makest him most blessed for ever; Thou makest him glad with joy in Thy presence.
—
For the king trusteth in the LORD, yea, in the mercy of the Most High; he shall not be moved.
—
Thy hand shall be equal to all thine enemies; Thy right hand shall overtake those that hate thee.
—
Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger; The LORD shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
—
Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
—
For they intended evil against thee, They imagined a device, wherewith they shall not prevail.
—
For thou shalt make them turn their back, Thou shalt make ready with thy bowstrings against the face of them.
—
Be Thou exalted, O LORD, in Thy strength; so will we sing and praise Thy power.
