Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 How the king rejoices in your strength, O LORD ! He shouts with joy because you give him victory.
1
To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth.
2 For you have given him his heart’s desire; you have withheld nothing he requested. Interlude
2
The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. Selah.
3 You welcomed him back with success and prosperity. You placed a crown of finest gold on his head.
3
For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold.
4 He asked you to preserve his life, and you granted his request. The days of his life stretch on forever.
4
Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever.
5 Your victory brings him great honor, and you have clothed him with splendor and majesty.
5
Great [is] his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him.
6 You have endowed him with eternal blessings and given him the joy of your presence.
6
For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance.
7 For the king trusts in the LORD . The unfailing love of the Most High will keep him from stumbling.
7
For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved.
8 You will capture all your enemies. Your strong right hand will seize all who hate you.
8
Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.
9 You will throw them in a flaming furnace when you appear. The LORD will consume them in his anger; fire will devour them.
9
Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them.
10 You will wipe their children from the face of the earth; they will never have descendants.
10
Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men.
11 Although they plot against you, their evil schemes will never succeed.
11
For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not,
12 For they will turn and run when they see your arrows aimed at them.
12
For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces.
13 Rise up, O LORD, in all your power. With music and singing we celebrate your mighty acts.
13
Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might!
