¹ The king is glad, O LORD, because you gave him strength; he rejoices because you made him victorious. ² You have given him his heart's desire; you have answered his request. ³ You came to him with great blessings and set a crown of gold on his head. ⁴ He asked for life, and you gave it, a long and lasting life. ⁵ His glory is great because of your help; you have given him fame and majesty. ⁶ Your blessings are with him forever, and your presence fills him with joy. ⁷ The king trusts in the LORD Almighty; and because of the LORD's constant love he will always be secure. ⁸ The king will capture all his enemies; he will capture everyone who hates him. ⁹ He will destroy them like a blazing fire when he appears. The LORD will devour them in his anger, and fire will consume them. ¹⁰ None of their descendants will survive; the king will kill them all. ¹¹ They make their plans, and plot against him, but they will not succeed. ¹² He will shoot his arrows at them and make them turn and run. ¹³ We praise you, LORD, for your great strength! We will sing and praise your power.
