New King James VersionNET Bible
1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall have joy in Your strength, O LORD; And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!1For the music director; a psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in the strength you give; he takes great delight in the deliverance you provide.
2You have given him his heart’s desire, And have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah2You grant him his heart's desire; you do not refuse his request. (Selah)
3For You meet him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.3For you bring him rich blessings; you place a golden crown on his head.
4He asked life from You, and You gave it to him— Length of days forever and ever.4He asked you to sustain his life, and you have granted him long life and an enduring dynasty.
5His glory is great in Your salvation; Honor and majesty You have placed upon him.5Your deliverance brings him great honor; you give him majestic splendor.
6For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence.6For you grant him lasting blessings; you give him great joy by allowing him into your presence.
7For the king trusts in the LORD, And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.7For the king trusts in the LORD, and because of the sovereign LORD's faithfulness he is not upended.
8Your hand will find all Your enemies; Your right hand will find those who hate You.8You prevail over all your enemies; your power is too great for those who hate you.
9You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger; The LORD shall swallow them up in His wrath, And the fire shall devour them.9You burn them up like a fiery furnace when you appear; the LORD angrily devours them; the fire consumes them.
10Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men.10You destroy their offspring from the earth, their descendants from among the human race.
11For they intended evil against You; They devised a plot which they are not able to perform.11Yes, they intend to do you harm; they dream up a scheme, but they do not succeed.
12Therefore You will make them turn their back; You will make ready Your arrows on Your string toward their faces.12For you make them retreat when you shoot your arrows at them.
13Be exalted, O LORD, in Your own strength! We will sing and praise Your power.13Rise up, O LORD, in strength! We will sing and praise your power!
