¹ O Lord, the king rejoices in the strength you give;
he takes great delight in the deliverance you provide.
² You grant him his heart's desire;
you do not refuse his request. (Selah)
³ For you bring him rich blessings;
you place a golden crown on his head.
⁴ He asked you to sustain his life,
and you have granted him long life and an enduring dynasty.
⁵ Your deliverance brings him great honor;
you give him majestic splendor.
⁶ For you grant him lasting blessings;
you give him great joy by allowing him into your presence.
⁷ For the king trusts in the Lord,
and because of the sovereign One's faithfulness he is not upended.
⁸ You prevail over all your enemies;
your power is too great for those who hate you.
⁹ You burn them up like a fiery furnace when you appear;
the Lord angrily devours them;
the fire consumes them.
¹⁰ You destroy their offspring from the earth,
their descendants from among the human race.
¹¹ Yes, they intend to do you harm;
they dream up a scheme, but they do not succeed.
¹² For you make them retreat
when you shoot your arrows at them.
¹³ Rise up, O Lord, in strength!
We will sing and praise your power!
