- [To the chiefe musition,
a psalme of Dauid.]
- 1
- The kyng ought to reioyce in thy strength O God: and he ought to be exceedyng glad of thy saluation.
- 2
- Thou hast geuen him his heartes desire: and hast not denied him the request of his lippes.
Selah.
- 3
- For thou hast preuented him with good blessinges: and hast set a crowne of pure golde vpon his head.
- 4
- He asked life of thee, and thou gauest him long dayes: euen for euer and euer.
- 5
- His honour is great through thy saluation: thou hast layde glorie and great worship vpon him.
- 6
- For thou hast placed him to be blessinges for euer: and hast made him glad with the ioy of thy countenaunce.
- 7
- Because the king trusteth in God, and in the mercie of the most highest: he shal not miscarie.
- 8
- Thine hande wyll finde out all thine enemies: thy right hande wyll finde out them that hate thee.
- 9
- Thou wilt make them like a burnyng furnace in tyme of thy furie: God wyll destroy them in his wrath, and fire shall consume them.
- 10
- Thou wilt roote their fruite out of the earth: and their seede from among the children of men.
- 11
- For they intended mischiefe agaynst thee, and imagined a craftie deuice: [but] they coulde not [bring it to passe.]
- 12
- Therfore thou wilt put them to flight: [and] direct thine arrowes agaynst their faces.
- 13
- Be thou exalted O God accordyng to thine owne might: so we wyll sing, and with psalmes we wyll prayse thy power.
