| 1To 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! | 1The king rejoices in your strength, LORD. How greatly he rejoices in your deliverance. |
| 2Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. | 2You have granted him the desire of his heart, and have not withheld what his lips requested. Interlude |
| 3For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. | 3You go before him with wonderful blessings, and put a crown of fine gold on his head. |
| 4He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. | 4He asked life from you, and you gave it to him— a long life for ever and ever. |
| 5His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. | 5His glory is great because of your deliverance, you have given him honor and majesty. |
| 6For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. | 6Indeed, you have given him eternal blessings; you will make him glad with the joy of your presence. |
| 7For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. | 7The king trusts in the LORD; because of the gracious love of the Most High, he will stand firm. |
| 8Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. | 8Your hand will find all your enemies, your right hand will find those who hate you. |
| 9Thou 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. | 9When you appear, you will set them ablaze like a fire furnace. In his wrath, the LORD will consume them, and the fire will devour them. |
| 10Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. | 10You will destroy their descendants from the earth, even their offspring from the ranks of mankind. |
| 11For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. | 11Though they plot evil against you and devise schemes, they will not succeed. |
| 12Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them. | 12Indeed, you will make them retreat, when you aim your bow at their faces. |
| 13Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power. | 13Rise up, LORD, because you are strong; we will sing and praise your power. |
