¹ (20-1) <Unto the end. A psalm for David.> (20-2) In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.² (20-3) Thou hast given him his heart’s desire: and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.³ (20-4) For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.⁴ (20-5) He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.⁵ (20-6) His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.⁶ (20-7) For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.

⁷ (20-8) For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.⁸ (20-9) Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.⁹ (20-10) Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.¹⁰ (20-11) Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.¹¹ (20-12) For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.¹² (20-13) For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.¹³ (20-14) Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.
