1. THE KING [David] shall joy in Your strength, O Lord; and in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2. You have given him his heart's desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah [pause, and think of that]!
3. For You send blessings of good things to meet him; You set a crown of pure gold on his head.
4. He asked life of You, and You gave it to him–long life forever and evermore.
5. His glory is great because of Your aid; splendor and majesty You bestow upon him.
6. For You make him to be blessed and a blessing forever; You make him exceedingly glad with the joy of Your presence. [Gen. 12:2.]
7. For the king trusts, relies on, and is confident in the Lord, and through the mercy and steadfast love of the Most High he will never be moved.
