Praise for Salvation.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
And in Your [a]salvation how greatly he will rejoice!
2 You have given him his heart’s desire,
And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
3 For You meet him with the blessings of good things;
You set a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked for life from You,
You gave it to him,
Length of days forever and ever.
5 His glory is great through Your [b]salvation,
Splendor and majesty You place upon him.
6 For You make him [c]most blessed forever;
You make him joyful with the joy of Your presence.
And through the faithfulness of the Most High he will not be shaken.
8 Your hand will find all your enemies;
Your right hand will find those who hate you.
9 You will make them as a fiery oven in the time [d]of your anger;
The Lord will swallow them up in His wrath,
And fire will devour them.
10 You will eliminate their [e]descendants from the earth,
And their [f]children from among the sons of mankind.
11 Though they [g]intended evil against You
And devised a plot,
They will not succeed.
12 For You will make them turn their back;
You will take aim at their faces with Your bowstrings.
13 Be exalted, Lord, in Your strength;
We will sing and praise Your power.
