For the choir director; a psalm by David.

21 The king finds joy in your strength, O Lord.
What great joy he has in your victory!
You gave him his heart’s desire.
You did not refuse the prayer from his lips. Selah
You welcomed him with the blessings of good things
and set a crown of fine gold on his head.
