1. O LORD, the king rejoices in your strength. How great is his joy in the victories you give!
2. You have granted him the desire of his heart and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
3. You welcomed him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
4. He asked you for life, and you gave it to him-- length of days, for ever and ever.
6. Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
8. Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize your foes.
10. You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from mankind.
11. Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed;
12. for you will make them turn their backs when you aim at them with drawn bow.
13. Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength; we will sing and praise your might.
