For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation! |
|
2
|
You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah |
|
3
|
For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold. |
|
4
|
He asked You for life, and You granted it—length of days, forever and ever. |
|
5
|
Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty. |
|
6
|
For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence. |
|
7
|
For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken. |
|
8
|
Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You. |
|
9
|
You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them. |
|
10
|
You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men. |
|
11
|
Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail. |
|
12
|
For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them. |
|
13
|
Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power. |
