^2 (1) Adonai, the king finds joy in your strength;
what great joy he displays in your victory!
^3 (2) You give him his heart’s desire;
you don’t refuse the prayer from his lips. (Selah)

^4 (3) For you come to meet him with the best blessings,
you place a crown of fine gold on his head.
^5 (4) He asks you for life; you give it to him,
years and years forever and ever.

^6 (5) Your victory brings him great glory;
you confer on him splendor and honor.
^7 (6) For you bestow on him everlasting blessings,
you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
^8 (7) For the king puts his trust in Adonai,
in the grace of ‘Elyon; he will not be moved.

^9 (8) Your hand will find all your enemies;
your right hand will overtake those who hate you.
^10 (9) At your appearing,
you will make them like a fiery furnace.
Adonai will swallow them up in his anger;
fire will consume them.
^11 (10) You will destroy from the earth their descendants,
rid humankind of their posterity;
^12 (11) for they intended evil against you;
but despite their scheme, they won’t succeed.
^13 (12) For you will make them turn their back
by aiming your bow at their faces.

^14 (13) Arise, Adonai, in your strength;
and we will sing and praise your power.
