1 O Loʀᴅ, in Your strength the king will APs 59:16, 17be glad,
And in Your 1Or victorysalvation how greatly he will rejoice!
2 You have APs 20:4; 37:4given him his heart’s desire,
And You have not withheld the request of his lips. 1Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interludeSelah.
3 For You APs 59:10meet him with the blessings of good things;
You set a B2 Sam 12:30crown of fine gold on his head.
4 He asked life of You,
You APs 61:6; 133:3gave it to him,
BPs 91:16Length of days forever and ever.
BPs 8:5; 96:6Splendor and majesty You place upon him.
You make him joyful BPs 43:4with gladness in Your presence.

And through the lovingkindness of the Most High BPs 112:6he will not be shaken.
8 Your hand will AIs 10:10find out all your enemies;
Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
The Loʀᴅ will BLam 2:2swallow them up in His wrath,
And CPs 50:3fire will devour them.
10 Their 1Lit fruitoffspring You will destroy from the earth,
And BPs 10:2devised a plot,
They will not succeed.
12 For You will APs 18:40make them turn their back;
You will 1Lit make readyaim BPs 7:12, 13with Your bowstrings at their faces.
13 Be exalted, O Loʀᴅ, in Your strength;
We will APs 59:16; 81:1sing and praise Your power.
