1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
2The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
3You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
4For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
5He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.
6His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.
7For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.
8For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
9Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
10You 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.
11You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.
12For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
13For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.
14Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
