1O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation!
1The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
2You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
2You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
3For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
3For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4He asked You for life, and You granted it—length of days, forever and ever.
4He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.
5Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.
5His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.
6For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.
6For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.
7For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.
7For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
8Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.
8Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them.
9You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.
10You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.
10You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.
11Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.
11For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
12For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.
12For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.
13Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.
13Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
