For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

[1] The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh!
How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
[2] You have given him his heart’s desire,
and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
[3] For you meet him with the blessings of goodness.
You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
[4] He asked life of you and you gave it to him,
even length of days forever and ever.
[5] His glory is great in your salvation.
You lay honor and majesty on him.
[6] For you make him most blessed forever.
You make him glad with joy in your presence.
[7] For the king trusts in Yahweh.
Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
[8] Your hand will find out all of your enemies.
Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
[9] You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger.
Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath.
The fire shall devour them.
[10] You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
their posterity from among the children of men.
[11] For they intended evil against you.
They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
[12] For you will make them turn their back,
when you aim drawn bows at their face.
[13] Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength,
so we will sing and praise your power.
King James Version

To the chief Musician, H5329 A Psalm H4210 of David. H1732

[1] The king H4428 shall joy H8055 in thy strength, H5797 O Lord; H3068
And in thy salvation H3444 how greatly H3966 shall he rejoice! H1523
[2] Thou hast given H5414 him his heart’s H3820 desire, H8378
And hast not withholden H4513 the request H782 of his lips. H8193 Selah. H5542
[3] For H3588 thou preventest H6923 him with the blessings H1293 of goodness: H2896
Thou settest H7896 a crown H5850 of pure gold H6337 on his head. H7218
[4] He asked H7592 life H2416 of thee, and thou gavest H5414 it him,
Even length H753 of days H3117 for ever H5769 and ever. H5703
[5] His glory H3519 is great H1419 in thy salvation: H3444
Honour H1935 and majesty H1926 hast thou laid H7737 upon him.
[6] For thou hast made H7896 him most blessed H1293§ for ever: H5703
Thou hast made H2302 him exceeding glad H8057§ with H854 thy countenance. H6440
[7] For H3588 the king H4428 trusteth H982 in the Lord, H3068
And through the mercy H2617 of the Most High H5945 he shall not be moved. H4131
[8] Thine hand H3027 shall find out H4672 all H3605 thine enemies: H341
Thy right hand H3225 shall find out H4672 those that hate H8130 thee.
[9] Thou shalt make H7896 them as a fiery H784 oven H8574 in the time H6256 of thine anger: H6440
The Lord H3068 shall swallow them up H1104 in his wrath, H639 and the fire H784 shall devour H398 them.
[10] Their fruit H6529 shalt thou destroy H6 from the earth, H776
And their seed H2233 from among the children H1121 of men. H120
[11] For H3588 they intended H5186 evil H7451 against H5921 thee:
They imagined H2803 a mischievous device, H4209 which they are not able H3201 to perform.
[12] Therefore shalt thou make H7896 them turn§ their back,§ H7926
When thou shalt make ready H3559 thine arrows upon thy strings H4340 against H5921 the face H6440 of them.
[13] Be thou exalted, H7311 Lord, H3068 in thine own strength: H5797
So will we sing H7891 and praise H2167 thy power. H1369
