1 O Lord, the king rejoices in the strength you give;he takes great delight in the deliverance you provide.
2 You grant him his heart’s desire;you do not refuse his request. (Selah)
3 For you bring him rich blessings;you place a golden crown on his head.
4 He asked you to sustain his life,and you have granted him long life and an enduring dynasty.
5 Your deliverance brings him great honor;you give him majestic splendor.
6 For you grant him lasting blessings;you give him great joy by allowing him into your presence.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord,and because of the sovereign Lord’s faithfulness he is not upended.
8 You prevail over all your enemies;your power is too great for those who hate you.
9 You burn them up like a fiery furnace when you appear;the Lord angrily devours them;the fire consumes them.
10 You destroy their offspring from the earth,their descendants from among the human race.
11 Yes, they intend to do you harm;they dream up a scheme, but they do not succeed.
12 For you make them retreatwhen you shoot your arrows at them.
13 Rise up, O Lord, in strength!We will sing and praise your power!
