1. For the leader. A psalm of David.
2. O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength; how greatly he exults in Your victory!
3. You have granted him the desire of his heart, have not denied the request of his lips. Selah.
4. You have proffered him blessings of good things, have set upon his head a crown of fine gold.
5. He asked You for life; You granted it; a long life, everlasting.
6. Great is his glory through Your victory; You have endowed him with splendor and majesty.
7. You have made him blessed forever, gladdened him with the joy of Your presence.
8. For the king trusts in the LORD; Through the faithfulness of the Most High he will not be shaken.
9. Your hand is equal to all Your enemies; Your right hand overpowers Your foes.
10. You set them ablaze like a furnace when You show Your presence. The LORD in anger destroys them; fire consumes them.
11. You wipe their offspring from the earth, their issue from among men.
12. For they schemed against You; they laid plans, but could not succeed.
13. For You make them turn back by Your bows aimed at their face.
14. Be exalted, O LORD, through Your strength; we will sing and chant the praises of Your mighty deeds.
