1. The king in thy great strength, O Lord,shall very joyful be:In thy salvation rejoicehow veh'mently shall he!
2. Thou hast bestowed upon himall that his heart would have;And thou from him didst not withholdwhate'er his lips did crave.
3. For thou with blessings him prevent'stof goodness manifold;And thou hast set upon his heada crown of purest gold.
4. When he desired life of thee,thou life to him didst give;Ev'n such a length of days,that he for evermore should live.
5. In that salvation wrought by theehis glory is made great;Honour and comely majestythou hast upon him set.
6. Because that thou for evermoremost blessed hast him made;And thou hast with thy countenancemade him exceeding glad.
7. Because the king upon the Lordhis confidence doth lay;And through the grace of the most Highshall not be mov'd away.
8. Thine hand shall all those men find outthat en'mies are to thee;Ev'n thy right hand shall find out thoseof thee that haters be.
9. Like fiery ov'n thou shalt them make,when kindled is thine ire;God shall them swallow in his wrath,devour them shall the fire.
10. Their fruit from earth thou shalt destroy,their seed men from among:
11. For they beyond their might 'gainst theedid plot mischief and wrong.
12. Thou therefore shalt make them turn back,when thou thy shafts shalt placeUpon thy strings, made ready allto fly against their face.
13. In thy great pow'r and strength, O Lord,be thou exalted high;So shall we sing with joyful hearts,thy power praise shall we.
