For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.
1 Lord, the king finds joy in Your strength.
How greatly he rejoices in Your victory! j
2 You have given him his heart’s desire k
and have not denied the request of his lips. l * Selah
3 For You meet him with rich blessings;
You place a crown of pure gold on his head. m
4 He asked You for life, and You gave it to him—
length of days forever and ever. n
5 His glory is great through Your victory;
You confer majesty and splendor on him. o
6 You give him blessings forever; p
You cheer him with joy in Your presence. q
7 For the king relies on the Lord;
through the faithful love of the * Most High
he is not shaken. r
8 Your hand will capture all your enemies;
your right hand will seize those who hate you. s
like a fiery furnace when you appear;
the Lord will engulf them in His wrath,
and fire will devour them. t
10 You will wipe their descendants from the earth
and their offspring from the * human race. u
11 Though they intend to harm v you
and devise a wicked plan, they will not prevail. w
12 Instead, you will put them to flight
when you aim your bow x at their faces. y
13 Be exalted, Lord, in Your strength;
we will sing and praise Your might. z
