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 alwats 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.
