1The king celebrates your strength, Lord; he is so happy you made him victorious!

2You gave him everything he wanted; you didn't hold back anything he asked for.

3You welcomed him on his return with special blessings; you placed a crown of pure gold on his head.

4He asked you to give him a good life, and you gave him a long life, forever and ever.

5Your victories brought him great glory; you granted him splendor and majesty.

6You give him blessings forever. He is full of joy because you are with him.

7For the king trusts in the Lord; he stands firm because of the trustworthy love of the Most High.

8You, the king, ⁵⁹will find and capture all your enemies; you will seize everyone who hates you.

9When you appear on the scene you will burn them up like in a furnace; the Lord in his anger will destroy them, burning them up with fire.

10You will wipe out their children from the earth, their descendants from humankind.

11Though they plot evil against you, their malicious schemes will not succeed.

12They will turn and run away when they see your arrows fired at them.

13Rise up, Lord, for you are strong! We will sing and praise your power!
