| 1 | To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth. |
| 2 | The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. Selah. |
| 3 | For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold. |
| 4 | Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever. |
| 5 | Great [is] his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him. |
| 6 | For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance. |
| 7 | For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved. |
| 8 | Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters. |
| 9 | Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them. |
| 10 | Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men. |
| 11 | For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not, |
| 12 | For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces. |
| 13 | Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might! |
