International Standard VersionKing James Bible
1The king rejoices in your strength, LORD. How greatly he rejoices in your deliverance.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!
2You have granted him the desire of his heart, and have not withheld what his lips requested. Interlude2Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
3You go before him with wonderful blessings, and put a crown of fine gold on his head.3For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
4He asked life from you, and you gave it to him— a long life for ever and ever.4He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
5His glory is great because of your deliverance, you have given him honor and majesty.5His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
6Indeed, you have given him eternal blessings; you will make him glad with the joy of your presence.6For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7The king trusts in the LORD; because of the gracious love of the Most High, he will stand firm. 7For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8Your hand will find all your enemies, your right hand will find those who hate you.8Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
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.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.
10You will destroy their descendants from the earth, even their offspring from the ranks of mankind.10Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11Though they plot evil against you and devise schemes, they will not succeed.11For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
12Indeed, you will make them retreat, when you aim your bow at their faces.12Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
13Rise up, LORD, because you are strong; we will sing and praise your power.13Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
