I

Lord, the king finds joy in your power;(A)
    in your victory how greatly he rejoices!
You have granted him his heart’s desire;
    you did not refuse the request of his lips.
Selah
For you welcomed him with goodly blessings;
    you placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
He asked life of you;
    you gave it to him,
    length of days forever.(B)
Great is his glory in your victory;
    majesty and splendor you confer upon him.
You make him the pattern of blessings forever,
    you gladden him with the joy of your face.
