1 <V 20:1>Unto the end. A Psalm of David. <V 20:2>In your virtue, Lord, the king will rejoice, and over your salvation, he will exult exceedingly. O LORD, in your strength the king rejoices, and in your salvation how greatly he exults! For the director of music. A psalm of David. The king rejoices in your strength, LORD. How great is his joy in the victories you give!
2 <V 20:3>You have granted him the desire of his heart, and you have not cheated him of the wish of his lips. You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah You have granted him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.
3 <V 20:4>For you have gone ahead of him with blessings of sweetness. You have placed a crown of precious stones on his head. For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold upon his head. You came to greet him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 <V 20:5>He petitioned you for life, and you have granted him length of days, in the present time, and forever and ever. He asked life of you; you gave it to him, length of days forever and ever. He asked you for life, and you gave it to him— length of days, for ever and ever.
5 <V 20:6>Great is his glory in your salvation. Glory and great adornment, you will lay upon him. His glory is great through your salvation; splendor and majesty you bestow on him. Through the victories you gave, his glory is great; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.
6 <V 20:7>For you will give him as a blessing forever and ever. You will make him rejoice with gladness in your presence. For you make him most blessed forever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence. Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
7 <V 20:8>Because the king hopes in the Lord, and in the mercy of the Most High, he will not be disturbed. For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved. For the king trusts in the LORD; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken.
8 <V 20:9>May your hand be found by all your enemies. May your right hand discover all those who hate you. Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you. Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize your foes.
9 <V 20:10>You will make them like an oven of fire, in the time of your presence. The Lord will stir them up with his wrath, and fire will devour them. You will make them as a blazing oven when you appear. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath, and fire will consume them. When you appear for battle, you will burn them up as in a blazing furnace. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath, and his fire will consume them.
10 <V 20:11>You will destroy their fruit from the earth and their offspring from the sons of men. You will destroy their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from among the children of man. You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from mankind.
11 <V 20:12>For they have turned evils upon you; they have devised plans, which they have not been able to accomplish. Though they plan evil against you, though they devise mischief, they will not succeed. Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed.
12 <V 20:13>For you will make them turn their back; with your remnants, you will prepare their countenance. For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bows. You will make them turn their backs when you aim at them with drawn bow.
13 <V 20:14>Be exalted, Lord, by your own power. We will play music and sing psalms to your virtues. Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power. Be exalted in your strength, LORD; we will sing and praise your might.
