Psalm

²You have granted him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. ³You came to greet him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head. ⁴He asked you for life, and you gave it to him— length of days, for ever and ever. ⁵Through the victories you gave, his glory is great; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty. ⁶Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. ⁷For the king trusts in the Lord; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken. ⁸Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize your foes.
