1The King shall rejoice in thy strength, O Lord: yea how greatly shall he rejoice in thy salvation?
2Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not denied him the request of his lips. Selah.
3For thou didst prevent him with liberal blessings, and didst set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
4He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him a long life forever and ever.
5His glory is great in thy salvation: dignity and honor hast thou laid upon him.
6For thou hast set him as blessings forever: thou hast made him glad with the joy of thy countenance.
7Because the king trusteth in the Lord, and in the mercy of the most high, he shall not slide.
8Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies, and thy right hand shall find out them that hate thee.
9Thou shalt make them like a fiery oven in time of thine anger: the Lord shall destroy them in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from the children of men.
11For they intended evil against thee, and imagined mischief, but they shall not prevail.
12Therefore shalt thou put them apart, and the strings of thy bow shalt thou make ready against their faces.
13Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
