¹ THE king shall rejoice in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!² Thou hast given him his hearts desire, and hast not withheld the request of his lips.³ For thou hast blessed him beforehand with the blessings of goodness; thou hast set a precious crown 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; honor and majesty hast thou bestowed upon him.⁶ For thou hast made him most blessed for ever; thou hast made him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.

⁷ For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.⁸ Your hand shall overcome all your enemies; your right hand shall overcome those that hate you.⁹ You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your wrath; the LORD shall consume them in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.¹⁰ Their fruit shall you destroy from the earth, and their offspring from among the children of men.¹¹ For they have planned evil against you; they conceived a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.¹² For you shall place a scar on them; and you shall make ready your array against their faces.¹³ Be thou exalted, O LORD, in thine own strength; so will we sing and praise thy power.
