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.

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