Praise for Help.

¹ O LORD the king will ^(C1)delight in Your strength,
And in Your salvation how greatly will he rejoice!

² You have ^(C1)given him his heart's desire,
And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

³ For You ^(C1)meet him with blessings of good things;
You set a ^(C2)crown of pure gold on his head.

⁴ He asked life of You,
And You ^(C1)gave it to him,
^(C2)Long life forever and evermore.

⁵ His ^(C1)glory is great because of Your victory;
^(C2)Splendor and majesty You bestow upon him.

⁶ For You make him ^(C1)most blessed and a blessing forever;
You make him joyful ^(C2)with the joy of Your presence. ^(VR1)

⁷ For the king confidently ^(C1)trusts in the LORD,
And through the lovingkindness (faithfulness, goodness) of the Most High ^(C2)he will never be shaken.

⁸ Your hand will ^(C1)reach out and defeat all your enemies;
Your right hand will reach those who hate you.

⁹ You will make them ^(C1)as if in a blazing oven in the time of your anger;
The LORD will ^(C2)swallow them up in His wrath,
And the ^(C3)fire will devour them.

¹⁰ Their offspring You will destroy from the earth,
And their ^(C1)descendants from the sons of men.

¹¹ For they ^(C1)planned evil against You;
They ^(C2)devised a malevolent plot
And they will not succeed.

¹² For You will ^(C1)make them turn their backs in defeat;
You will aim ^(C2)Your bowstring of divine justice at their faces.

¹³ Be exalted, LORD, in Your strength;
We will ^(C1)sing and praise Your power.
