1Unto the end. A psalm for David.
1May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,
2In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.
2send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,
3Thou hast given him his heart’s desire: and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.
3remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. Selah.
4For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
4May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.
5He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.
5We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.
6His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.
6Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.
7For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.
7Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
8For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.
9Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.
9Save, LORD! Let the King answer us when we call!
10Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.
