| 1: The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; 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 preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou
settest a crown of pure gold on his head. |
| |
| 4: He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of
days for ever and ever. |
| |
| 5: His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast
thou laid upon him. |
| |
| 6: For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made
him exceeding glad with thy countenance. |
| |
| 7: For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of
the most High he shall not be moved. |
| |
| 8: Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand
shall find out those that hate thee. |
| |
| 9: Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine
anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall
devour them. |
| |
| 10: Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed
from among the children of men. |
| |
| 11: For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a
mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. |
| |
| 12: Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou
shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
|
| |
| 13: Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing
and praise thy power. |
