¹In your strength the king rejoices, O LORD,
and in your help how greatly he exults!
²You have given him his heart's desire,
and have not withheld the request of his lips.
Selah

³For you meet him with rich blessings;
you set a crown of fine gold on his head.
⁴He asked you for life; you gave it to him —
length of days forever and ever.
⁵His glory is great through your help;
splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
⁶You bestow on him blessings forever;
you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
⁷For the king trusts in the LORD,
and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
⁸Your hand will find out all your enemies;
your right hand will find out those who hate you.
⁹You will make them like a fiery furnace
when you appear.
The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath,
and fire will consume them.
¹⁰You will destroy their offspring from the earth,
and their children from among humankind.
¹¹If they plan evil against you,
if they devise mischief, they will not succeed.
¹²For you will put them to flight;
you will aim at their faces with your bows.
¹³Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength!
We will sing and praise your power.
