0For the director. A psalm of David.
1O Yahweh, in your strength the king rejoices, and in your salvation how greatly he exults!
2You have given him the desire of his heart, and the request of his lips you have not withheld. Selah.
3For you meet him with blessings of good things; you set on his head a crown of fine gold.
4Life he asked of you; you gave it to him — length of days forever and ever.
5Great is his glory through your salvation; splendor and majesty you bestow upon him.
6For you make him blessings forever; you gladden him with joy in your presence.
7For the king trusts in Yahweh, and through the loyal love of the Most High he will not be shaken.
8Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9You will make them like a fiery furnace at the time of your appearing; Yahweh in his anger will swallow them up, and fire will consume them.
10Their fruit you will destroy from the earth, and their offspring from among the children of humankind.
11For they intended evil against you; they devised a scheme, but they will not prevail.
12For you will make them turn their backs; with your bowstrings you will aim at their faces.
13Be exalted, O Yahweh, in your strength! We will sing and make music of your might.
