For the choir director. A Psalm of David. ¹ O LORD, in Your strength the king will be glad,
And in Your salvation how greatly he will rejoice! ² You have given him his heart’s desire,
And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah. ³ For You meet him with the blessings of good things;
You set a crown of fine gold on his head. ⁴ He asked life of You,
You gave it to him,
Length of days forever and ever. ⁵ His glory is great through Your salvation,
Splendor and majesty You place upon him. ⁶ For You make him most blessed forever;
You make him joyful with gladness in Your presence. ⁷ For the king trusts in the LORD,
And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he will not be shaken. ⁸ Your hand will find out all your enemies;
Your right hand will find out those who hate you. ⁹ You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger;
The LORD will swallow them up in His wrath,
And fire will devour them. ¹⁰ Their offspring You will destroy from the earth,
And their descendants from among the sons of men. ¹¹ Though they intended evil against You
And devised a plot,
They will not succeed. ¹² For You will make them turn their back;
You will aim with Your bowstrings at their faces. ¹³ Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength;
We will sing and praise Your power.
