| 1 | 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 most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding 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 thou make them turn their back, [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. |
