1 The king shall rejoice in your strength, O Lord; ♦︎
how greatly shall he rejoice in your salvation!
2 You have given him his hearts desire ♦︎
and have not denied the request of his lips.
3 For you come to meet him with blessings of goodness ♦︎
and set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
4 He asked of you life and you gave it him, ♦︎
length of days, for ever and ever.
5 His honour is great because of your salvation; ♦︎
glory and majesty have you laid upon him.
6 You have granted him everlasting felicity ♦︎
and will make him glad with joy in your presence.
7 For the king puts his trust in the Lord; ♦︎
because of the loving-kindness of the Most High,
he shall not be overthrown.
8 Your hand shall mark down all your enemies; ♦︎
your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9 You will make them like a fiery oven
in the time of your wrath; ♦︎
the Lord will swallow them up in his anger
and the fire will consume them.
10 Their fruit you will root out of the land ♦︎
and their seed from among its inhabitants.
11 Because they intend evil against you ♦︎
and devise wicked schemes
which they cannot perform,
12 You will put them to flight ♦︎
when you aim your bow at their faces.
13 Be exalted, O Lord, in your own might; ♦︎
we will make music and sing of your power.
1 Clap your hands together, all you peoples; ♦︎
O sing to God with shouts of joy.
2 For the Lord Most High is to be feared; ♦︎
he is the great King over all the earth.
3 He subdued the peoples under us ♦︎
and the nations under our feet.
4 He has chosen our heritage for us, ♦︎
the pride of Jacob, whom he loves.
5 God has gone up with a merry noise, ♦︎
the Lord with the sound of the trumpet.
6 O sing praises to God, sing praises; ♦︎
sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth; ♦︎
sing praises with all your skill.
8 God reigns over the nations; ♦︎
God has taken his seat upon his holy throne.
9 The nobles of the peoples are gathered together ♦︎
with the people of the God of Abraham.
10 For the powers of the earth belong to God ♦︎
and he is very highly exalted.
