1 For the director of music. A psalm of David. O Lord, the king rejoices in your strength. How great is his joy in the victories you give!
2 and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
3 and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 length of days, for ever and ever.
5 you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.
6 and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
7 through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken.
8 your right hand will seize your foes.
9 you will make them like a fiery furnace. In his wrath the Lord will swallow them up, and his fire will consume them.
10 their posterity from mankind.
11 and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed;
12 when you aim at them with drawn bow.
13 we will sing and praise your might.
