1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall be glad in your strength, O Yehovah; And in your salvation how greatly he shall rejoice!
2You have given him his heart’s desire, And have not withheld the request of his lips. [Selah
3For you meet him with the blessings of goodness: You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4He asked life of you, you gave it to him, Even length of days forever and ever.
5His glory is great in your salvation: Honor and majesty you lay upon him.
6For you make him most blessed forever: You make him glad with joy in your presence.
7For the king trusts in Yehovah; And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.
8Your hand will find out all your enemies; Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger: Yehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them.
10Their fruit you will destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men.
11For they intended evil against you; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.
12For you will make them turn their back; You will make ready with your bowstrings against their face.
13Be exalted, O Yehovah, in your strength: So we will sing and praise your power.
