ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To the Director: A Davidic Psalm.
Praise for the LORD’s Deliverance The king rejoices in your strength, LORD. How greatly he rejoices in your deliverance. ² You have granted him the desire of his heart, and have not withheld what his lips requested. Interlude ³ You go before him with wonderful blessings, and put a crown of fine gold on his head. ⁴ He asked life from you, and you gave it to him— a long life for ever and ever. ⁵ His glory is great because of your deliverance, you have given him honor and majesty. ⁶ Indeed, you have given him eternal blessings; you will make him glad with the joy of your presence. ⁷ The king trusts in the LORD; because of the gracious love of the Most High, he will stand firm. ⁸ Your hand will find all your enemies, your right hand will find those who hate you. ⁹ When you appear, you will set them ablaze like a fire furnace. In his wrath, the LORD will consume them, and the fire will devour them. ¹⁰ You will destroy their descendants from the earth, even their offspring from the ranks of mankind. ¹¹ Though they plot evil against you and devise schemes, they will not succeed. ¹² Indeed, you will make them retreat, when you aim your bow at their faces. ¹³ Rise up, LORD, because you are strong; we will sing and praise your power.
