For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, in Your strength the king will ^abe glad,
And in Your ^{▼▼ Or victory}salvation how greatly he will rejoice!
2 You have ^cgiven him his heart’s desire,
And You have not withheld the request of his lips. ^{▼▼ Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interlude}Selah.
3 For You ^emeet him with the blessings of good things;
You set a ^fcrown of fine gold on his head.
4 He asked life of You,
You ^ggave it to him,
^hLength of days forever and ever.
5 His ⁱglory is great through Your ^{▼▼ Or victory}salvation,
^kSplendor and majesty You place upon him.
6 For You make him ^{▼▼ Lit blessings}most ^mblessed forever;
You make him joyful ⁿwith gladness in Your presence.

7 For the king ^otrusts in the Lord,
And through the lovingkindness of the Most High ^phe will not be shaken.
8 Your hand will ^qfind out all your enemies;
Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9 You will make them ^ras a fiery oven in the time ^{▼▼ Or of your presence}of your anger;
The Lord will ^tswallow them up in His wrath,
And ^ufire will devour them.
10 Their ^{▼▼ Lit fruit}offspring You will destroy from the earth,
And their ^{▼▼ Lit seed
,} ^xdescendants from among the sons of men.
11 Though they ^{▼▼ Lit stretched out
,} ^zintended evil against You
And ^aadevised a plot,
They will not succeed.
12 For You will ^abmake them turn their back;
You will ^{▼▼ Lit make ready}aim ^adwith Your bowstrings at their faces.
13 Be exalted, O Lord, in Your strength;
We will ^aesing and praise Your power.
