[[To him that excelleth.] A Psalm Chapter of David]
[1] The king shall rejoice in thy strength, O Lord: yea, how greatly shall he rejoice in thy salvation!
[2] Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not denied him the request of his lips. Selah.
[3] For thou didst prevent him with liberal blessings, and didst set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
[4] He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him a long life forever and ever.
[5] His glory is great in thy salvation: dignity and honor hast thou laid upon him.
[6] For thou hast set him as blessings forever: thou hast made him glad with the joy of thy countenance.
[7] Because the king trusteth in the Lord, and in the mercy of the Most High, he shall not slide.
[8] Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies, and thy right hand shall find out them that hate thee.
[9] Thou shalt make them like a fiery oven in time of thine anger: the Lord shall destroy them in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
[10] Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from the children of men.
[11] For they intended evil against thee, and imagined mischief, but they shall not prevail.
[12] Therefore shalt thou put them apart, and the strings of thy bow shalt thou make ready against their faces.
[13] Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
