[For the end, a Psalm of David.]
[1] O Lord, the king shall rejoice in thy strength; and in thy salvation he shall greatly exult.
[2] Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not withheld from him the request of his lips. Pause.
[3] For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.
[4] He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever and ever.
[5] His glory is great in thy salvation: thou wilt crown him with glory and majesty.
[6] For thou wilt give him a blessing for ever and ever: thou wilt gladden him with joy with thy countenance.
[7] For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.
[8] Let thy hand be found by all thine enemies: let thy right hand find all that hate thee.
[9] Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven at the time of thy presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.
[10] Thou shalt destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from among the sons of men.
[11] For they intended evils against thee; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.
[12] For thou shalt make them turn their back in thy latter end, thou wilt prepare their face.
[13] Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: we will sing and praise thy mighty acts.
