 For you meet him with blessings of prosperity, * and set a crown of fine gold upon his head.

He asked you for life, and you gave it to him: * length of days, for ever and ever.

His honor is great, because of your victory; * splendor and majesty have you bestowed upon him.

For you will give him everlasting felicity * and will make him glad with the joy of your presence.

For the king puts his trust in the ; * because of the loving&#8209;kindness of the Most High, he will not fall.

Your hand will lay hold upon all your enemies; * your right hand will seize all those who hate you.

You will make them like a fiery furnace * at the time of your appearing, O.

You will swallow them up in your wrath, * and fire shall consume them.

You will destroy their offspring from the land * and their descendants from among the peoples of the earth.

Though they intend evil against you and devise wicked schemes, * yet they shall not prevail.

For you will put them to flight * and aim your arrows at them.

Be exalted, O, in your might; * we will sing and praise your power.
