2 H5414 Thou hast given [H8804] H3820 him his heart's H8378 desire H4513 , and hast not withholden [H8804] H782 the request H8193 of his lips H5542 . Selah.

3 H6923 For thou preventest [H8762] H1293 him with the blessings H2896 of goodness H7896 : thou settest [H8799] H5850 a crown H6337 of pure gold H7218 on his head.

4 H7592 He asked [H8804] H2416 life H5414 of thee, and thou gavest [H8804] H753 it him, even length H3117 of days H5769 for ever H5703 and ever.

5 H3519 His glory H1419 is great H3444 in thy salvation H1935 : honour H1926 and majesty H7737 hast thou laid [H8762] upon him.

6 H7896 For thou hast made [H8799] H1293 him most blessed H5703 for ever H2302 : thou hast made [H8762] H8057 him exceeding glad H6440 with thy countenance.

7 H4428 For the king H982 trusteth [H8802] H3068 in the LORD H2617 , and through the mercy H5945 of the most High H4131 he shall not be moved [H8735] .

8 H3027 Thine hand H4672 shall find out [H8799] H341 all thine enemies [H8802] H3225 : thy right hand H4672 shall find out [H8799] H8130 those that hate [H8802] thee.

9 H7896 Thou shalt make [H8799] H784 them as a fiery H8574 oven H6256 in the time H6440 of thine anger H3068 : the LORD H1104 shall swallow them up [H8762] H639 in his wrath H784 , and the fire H398 shall devour [H8799] them.

10 H6529 Their fruit H6 shalt thou destroy [H8762] H776 from the earth H2233 , and their seed H1121 from among the children H120 of men.

11 H5186 For they intended [H8804] H7451 evil H2803 against thee: they imagined [H8804] H4209 a mischievous device H3201 , which they are not able [H8799] to perform .

12 H7896 Therefore shalt thou make [H8799] H7926 them turn their back H3559 , when thou shalt make ready [H8787] H4340 thine arrows upon thy strings H6440 against the face of them.

13 H7311 Be thou exalted [H8798] H3068 , LORD H5797 , in thine own strength H7891 : so will we sing [H8799] H2167 and praise [H8762] H1369 thy power.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. 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 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: honour 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 the LORD, and through the lovingkindness 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 furnace 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 device, which they are not able to perform. ¹² For thou shalt make them turn their back, thou shalt make ready with thy bowstrings against the face of them. ¹³ Be thou exalted, O LORD, in thy strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
