1
|
The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; 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 preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. |
|
4
|
He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. |
|
5
|
His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. |
|
6
|
For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. |
|
7
|
For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. |
|
8
|
Thine 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 oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, 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 are not able to perform. |
|
12
|
Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them. |
|
13
|
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power. |
