For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

After the Battle

¹The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!+ ²You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.+ ³For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.+ ⁴He asked life of you, you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.+ ⁵His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.+ ⁶For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.+ ⁷For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.+ ⁸Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.+ ⁹You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.+ ¹⁰You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.+ ¹¹For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.+ ¹²For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.+ ¹³Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.+
