How great is his joy in the victories you give!
2 You have granted him his heart’s desire; you did not refuse the request of his lips. Selah 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 For you welcomed him with goodly blessings; you placed on his head a crown of pure gold. 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 He asked life of you; you gave it to him, length of days forever. 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.

8 Your hand will find all your enemies; your right hand will find your foes! 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 At the time of your coming you will make them a fiery furnace. Then the LORD in his anger will consume them, devour them with fire. You will make them as a blazing oven when you appear.

The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath, and his fire will consume them.
10 Even their descendants you will wipe out from the earth, their offspring from the human race. 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 Though they intend evil against you, devising plots, they will not succeed, 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 For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bow. 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 Arise, LORD, in your power! We will sing and chant the praise of your might. 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.
