1 [For the choir director; a psalm by David.] The king finds joy in your strength, O LORD. What great joy he has in your victory! 2 You gave him his heart's desire. You did not refuse the prayer from his lips. [Selah] 3 You welcomed him with the blessings of good things and set a crown of fine gold on his head. 4 He asked you for life. You gave him a long life, forever and ever. 5 Because of your victory his glory is great. You place splendor and majesty on him. 6 Yes, you made him a blessing forever. You made him glad with the joy of your presence. 7 Indeed, the king trusts the LORD, and through the mercy of the Most High, he will not be moved. 8 Your hand will discover all your enemies. Your powerful hand will find all who hate you. 9 When you appear, you will make them [burn]like a blazing furnace. The LORD will swallow them up in his anger. Fire will devour them.
