| 1 ¶ To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
|
|
| 2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
|
|
| 3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
|
|
| 4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
|
|
| 5 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
|
|
| 6 For thou hast made him most1 blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding2 glad with thy countenance.
|
|
| 7 ¶ For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
|
|
| 8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
|
|
| 9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
|
|
| 10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
|
|
| 11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
|
|
| 12 Therefore shalt thou3 make them turn their back,4 when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
|
|
| 13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
