1. O LORD, in your strength the king rejoices, and in your salvation how greatly he exults! 
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah 
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold upon his head. 
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. He asked life of you; you gave it to him, length of days forever and ever. 
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. His glory is great through your salvation; splendor and majesty you bestow on him. 
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. For you make him most blessed forever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence. 
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved. 
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you. 
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. You will make them as a blazing oven when you appear. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath, and fire will consume them. 
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. You will destroy their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from among the children of man. 
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. Though they plan evil against you, though they devise mischief, they will not succeed. 
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bows. 
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power.
