3You welcomed him back with success and prosperity. You placed a crown of finest gold on his head.3You go before him with wonderful blessings, and put a crown of fine gold on his head.
4He asked you to preserve his life, and you granted his request. The days of his life stretch on forever.4He asked life from you, and you gave it to him— a long life for ever and ever.
5Your victory brings him great honor, and you have clothed him with splendor and majesty.5His glory is great because of your deliverance, you have given him honor and majesty.
6You have endowed him with eternal blessings and given him the joy of your presence.6Indeed, you have given him eternal blessings; you will make him glad with the joy of your presence.
7For the king trusts in the LORD. The unfailing love of the Most High will keep him from stumbling.7The king trusts in the LORD; because of the gracious love of the Most High, he will stand firm.
8You will capture all your enemies. Your strong right hand will seize all who hate you.8Your hand will find all your enemies, your right hand will find those who hate you.
9You will throw them in a flaming furnace when you appear. The LORD will consume them in his anger; fire will 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.

11Although they plot against you, their evil schemes will never succeed.11Though they plot evil against you and devise schemes, they will not succeed.
12For they will turn and run when they see your arrows aimed at them.12Indeed, you will make them retreat, when you aim your bow at their faces.
13Rise up, O LORD, in all your power. With music and singing we celebrate your mighty acts.13Rise up, LORD, because you are strong; we will sing and praise your power.
