- 1
- {To the chief Musician.
A Psalm of David.} The king shall joy in thy strength, Jehovah; 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 hast met him with the blessings of goodness;
thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.
- 4
- He asked life of thee;
thou gavest [it] him, length of days for ever and ever.
- 5
- His glory is great through thy salvation;
majesty and splendour hast thou laid upon him.
- 6
- For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever;
thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.
- 7
- For the king confideth in Jehovah: and through the loving-kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.
- 8
- Thy 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 furnace in the time of thy presence;
Jehovah shall swallow them up in his anger, 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 could not execute.
- 12
- For thou wilt make them turn their back;
thou wilt make ready thy bowstring against their face.
- 13
- Be thou exalted, Jehovah, in thine own strength: we will sing and celebrate thy power.
