To the chief Musician, 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. |
