After the Battle

¹To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, Jehovah; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice.+ ²Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.+ ³For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness; thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.+ ⁴He asked life of thee; thou gavest [it] him, length of days for ever and ever.+ ⁵His glory is great through thy salvation; majesty and splendour hast thou laid upon him.+ ⁶For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.+ ⁷For the king confideth in Jehovah: and through the loving-kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.+ ⁸Thy hand shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.+ ⁹Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thy presence; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his anger, and the fire shall devour them:+ ¹⁰Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.+ ¹¹For they intended evil against thee; they imagined a mischievous device, which they could not execute.+ ¹²For thou wilt make them turn their back; thou wilt make ready thy bowstring against their face.+ ¹³Be thou exalted, Jehovah, in thine own strength: we will sing and celebrate thy power.+
