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