1The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
1Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David.
2You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
2O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
3For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
3O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
4He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.
4But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel.
5His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.
5In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
6For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.
6They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
7For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
7But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
8Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
8All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
9You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.
9He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
10You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.
10For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.
11For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
11I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother’s womb thou art my God,
12For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.
12Depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me.
13Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
13Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me.
