1 The king celebrates your strength, LORD; look how happy he is about your saving help!
1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall have joy in Your strength, O Lord; And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 You've given him what his heart desires; you haven't denied what his lips requested. Selah
2 You have given him his heart's desire, And have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
3 You bring rich blessings right to him; you put a crown of pure gold on his head.
3 For You meet him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
4 He asked you for life, and you gave it to him, all right— long days, forever and always!
4 He asked life from You, and You gave it to him-- Length of days forever and ever.
5 The king's reputation is great because of your saving help; you've conferred on him glory and grandeur.
5 His glory is great in Your salvation; Honor and majesty You have placed upon him.
6 You grant him blessings forever; you make him happy with the joy of your presence.
6 For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence.
7 Because the king trusts the LORD, and because of the Most High's faithful love, he will not stumble.

8 Your hand will catch all your enemies; your strong hand will catch all who hate you.
8 Your hand will find all Your enemies; Your right hand will find those who hate You.
9 When you appear, LORD, you will light them up like an oven on fire. God will eat them whole in his anger; fire will devour them.
9 You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger; The Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath, And the fire shall devour them.
10 You will destroy their offspring from the land; destroy their descendants from the human race.
10 Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men.
11 Because they sought to do you harm, they devised a wicked plan—but they will fail!
11 For they intended evil against You; They devised a plot which they are not able to perform.
12 Because you will make them turn and run when you aim your bow straight at their faces!
12 Therefore You will make them turn their back; You will make ready Your arrows on Your string toward their faces.
13 Be exalted, LORD, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power!
13 Be exalted, O Lord, in Your own strength! We will sing and praise Your power.
