¹ For the Leader. A Psalm of David.² O LORD, in Thy strength the king rejoiceth; and in Thy salvation how greatly doth he exult!³ Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and the request of his lips Thou hast not withholden. Selah⁴ For Thou meetest him with choicest blessings; Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.⁵ He asked life of Thee, Thou gavest it him; even length of days for ever and ever.⁶ His glory is great through Thy salvation; honour and majesty dost Thou lay upon him.

⁷ For Thou makest him most blessed for ever; Thou makest him glad with joy in Thy presence.⁸ For the king trusteth in the LORD, yea, in the mercy of the Most High; he shall not be moved.⁹ Thy hand shall be equal to all thine enemies; thy right hand shall overtake those that hate thee.¹⁰ Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger; ¹¹ Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.¹² For they intended evil against thee, they imagined a device, wherewith they shall not prevail.¹³ For thou shalt make them turn their back, thou shalt make ready with thy bowstrings against the face of them.

¹⁴ Be Thou exalted, O LORD, in Thy strength; so will we sing and praise Thy power.
