1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, the king is joyful in Your strength, || How greatly he rejoices in Your salvation. 2 You gave the desire of his heart to him, || And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah. 3 For You put blessings of goodness before him, || You set a crown of fine gold on his head. 4 He has asked for life from You, || You have given length of days to him, || For all time and forever. 5 Great [is] his glory in Your salvation, || You place splendor and majesty on him. 6 For You make him blessings forever, || You cause him to rejoice with joy, || By Your countenance. 7 For the king is trusting in YHWH, || And in the kindness of the Most High he is not moved. 8 Your hand comes to all Your enemies, || Your right hand finds Your haters. 9 You make them as a furnace of fire, || At the time of Your presence. YHWH swallows them in His anger, || And fire devours them. 10 You destroy their fruit from earth, || And their seed from the sons of men. 11 For they stretched out evil against You, || They devised a wicked scheme, they do not prevail, 12 For You make them turn their back, || When You prepare Your strings against their faces. 13 Be exalted, O YHWH, in Your strength, || We sing and we praise Your might!
