3For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.

3You go before him with wonderful blessings, and put a crown of fine gold on his head.

4He asked You for life, and You granted it—length of days, forever and ever.

5Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.

5His glory is great because of your deliverance, you have given him honor and majesty.

6For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in 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; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.

8Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.

9You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume 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.

10You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.

11Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.

12Indeed, you will make them retreat, when you aim your bow at their faces.

13Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.

13Rise up, LORD, because you are strong; we will sing and praise your power.
