¹ The king is glad, O Lord, because you gave him strength;
    he rejoices because you made him victorious.
² You have given him his heart's desire;
    you have answered his request.

³ You came to him with great blessings
    and set a crown of gold on his head.
⁴ He asked for life, and you gave it,
    a long and lasting life.

⁵ His glory is great because of your help;
    you have given him fame and majesty.
⁶ Your blessings are with him forever,
    and your presence fills him with joy.

⁷ The king trusts in the Lord Almighty;
    and because of the Lord's constant love
    he will always be secure.
⁸ The king will capture all his enemies;
    he will capture everyone who hates him.
⁹ He will destroy them like a blazing fire
    when he appears.

The Lord will devour them in his anger,
    and fire will consume them.
¹⁰ None of their descendants will survive;
    the king will kill them all.

¹¹ They make their plans, and plot against him,
    but they will not succeed.
¹² He will shoot his arrows at them
    and make them turn and run.

¹³ We praise you, Lord, for your great strength!
    We will sing and praise your power.
