NET BibleKing James Bible
1For the music director; a psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in the strength you give; he takes great delight in the deliverance you provide. 1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2You grant him his heart's desire; you do not refuse his request. (Selah) 2Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
3For you bring him rich blessings; you place a golden crown on his head. 3For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
4He asked you to sustain his life, and you have granted him long life and an enduring dynasty. 4He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
5Your deliverance brings him great honor; you give him majestic splendor. 5His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
6For you grant him lasting blessings; you give him great joy by allowing him into your presence. 6For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7For the king trusts in the LORD, and because of the sovereign LORD's faithfulness he is not upended. 7For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8You prevail over all your enemies; your power is too great for those who hate you. 8Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
9You burn them up like a fiery furnace when you appear; the LORD angrily devours them; the fire consumes them. 9Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10You destroy their offspring from the earth, their descendants from among the human race. 10Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11Yes, they intend to do you harm; they dream up a scheme, but they do not succeed. 11For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
12For you make them retreat when you shoot your arrows at them. 12Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
13Rise up, O LORD, in strength! We will sing and praise your power! 13Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
