⁷ The king trusts in the Lord,
    and the faithful love of God Most High will keep him from falling.
⁸ Lord, you will show all your enemies that you are strong.
    Your power will defeat those who hate you.
⁹ When you appear,
    you will burn them up like a blazing furnace.
In your anger, Lord, you will completely destroy them;
    they will be swallowed by flames of fire.^[a]
10 Their families will be destroyed.
    They will be removed from the earth.
¹¹ That is because they made evil plans against you.
    They wanted to do things they could not do.
¹² You will make them turn and run away
    when you aim your arrows at their faces.

¹³ Lord, we lift you up with our songs of praise.
    We sing and play songs about your power!
