1 To the overseer; chanting of David. O Jehovah, in thy strength shall the king rejoice; and in thy salvation how shall he greatly exult. 2 The desire of his heart thou gavest to him, and the longing of his lips thou didst not withhold. Silence. 3 For thou wilt anticipate him with praises of goodness: thou wilt set a crown of pure gold to his head. 4 He asked life from thee; thou gavest to him length of days forever and ever. 5 Great his glory in thy salvation: majesty and honor thou wilt set upon him. 6 For thou wilt set him praises forever: thou wilt make him glad in joy with thy face. 7 For the king trusted in Jehovah, and in the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved. 8 Thy hand shall find for all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find those hating thee. 9 Thou wilt set them as a furnace of fire for the time of thy face: Jehovah in his anger will swallow them down, and the fire shall devour them. Psalms 21:1-9, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
