{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. |
