For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

O Lord , in Your strength the king will ^(a)be glad, And in Your ^[a]salvation how greatly he will rejoice!

You have ^(b)given him his heart's desire, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. ^[b]Selah.

For You ^(c)meet him with the blessings of good things; You set a ^(d)crown of fine gold on his head.

He asked life of You, You ^(e)gave it to him, ^(f)Length of days forever and ever.

His ^(g)glory is great through Your ^[c]salvation, ^(h)Splendor and majesty You place upon him.

For You make him ^[d]most ⁽ⁱ⁾blessed forever; You make him joyful ^(j)with gladness in Your presence.

For the king ^(k)trusts in the Lord , And through the lovingkindness of the Most High ^(l)he will not be shaken.

Your hand will ^(m)find out all your enemies; Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

You will make them ⁽ⁿ⁾as a fiery oven in the time ^[e]of your anger; The Lord will ^(o)swallow them up in His wrath, And ^(p)fire will devour them.

Their ^[f]offspring You will destroy from the earth, And their ^[g](q)descendants from among the sons of men.

Though they ^[h](r)intended evil against You And ^(s)devised a plot, They will not succeed.

For You will ^(t)make them turn their back; You will ^[i]aim ^(u)with Your bowstrings at their faces.

Be exalted, O Lord , in Your strength; We will ^(v)sing and praise Your power.
