King James New American Standard Bible
  • 1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
  • 2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
  • 3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
  • 4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
  • 5 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
  • 6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
  • 7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
  • 8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
  • 9 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.
  • 10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
  • 11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
  • 12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
  • 13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
  • 1 O LORD, in Your strength the king will be glad, And in Your salvation how greatly he will rejoice!
  • 2 You have given him his heart's desire, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
  • 3 For You meet him with the blessings of good things; You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
  • 4 He asked life of You, You gave it to him, Length of days forever and ever.
  • 5 His glory is great through Your salvation, Splendor and majesty You place upon him.
  • 6 For You make him most blessed forever; You make him joyful with gladness in Your presence.
  • 7 For the king trusts in the LORD, And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he will not be shaken.
  • 8 Your hand will find out all your enemies; Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
  • 9 You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger; The LORD will swallow them up in His wrath, And fire will devour them.
  • 10 Their offspring You will destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men.
  • 11 Though they intended evil against You And devised a plot, They will not succeed.
  • 12 For You will make them turn their back; You will aim with Your bowstrings at their faces.
  • 13 Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; We will sing and praise Your power.
