✧For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah; And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! ✧2Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. [Selah ✧3For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head. ✧4He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever. ✧5His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him. ✧6For thou makest him most blessed for ever: Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence. ✧7For the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved. ✧8Thy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee. ✧9Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger: Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them. ✧10Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men. ✧11For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform. ✧12For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face. ✧13Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power.
