To the chief Musician,
A Psalm
of David.
The king
shall joy
in thy strength,
O LORD;
and in thy salvation
how greatly
shall he rejoice!
Thou hast given
him his heart's
desire,
and hast not withholden
the request
of his lips.
Selah.
For thou preventest
him with the blessings
of goodness:
thou settest
a crown
of pure gold
on his head.
He asked
life
of thee, and thou gavest
it him, even length
of days
for ever
and ever.
His glory
is great
in thy salvation:
honour
and majesty
hast thou laid
upon him.
For thou hast made
him most blessed
for ever:
thou hast made
him exceeding glad
with thy countenance.
For the king
trusteth
in the LORD,
and through the mercy
of the most High
he shall not be moved.
Thine hand
shall find out
all thine enemies:
thy right hand
shall find out
those that hate
thee.
Thou shalt make
them as a fiery
oven
in the time
of thine anger:
the LORD
shall swallow them up
in his wrath,
and the fire
shall devour
them.
Their fruit
shalt thou destroy
from the earth,
and their seed
from among the children
of men.
throw all together into confusion

syntaraxei
For they intended
evil
against thee: they imagined
a mischievous device,
which they are not able
to perform.
Therefore shalt thou make
them turn their back,
when thou shalt make ready
thine arrows upon thy strings
against the face
of them.
Be thou exalted,
LORD,
in thine own strength:
so will we sing
and praise
thy power.
