The expectation of faith fully answered. The King of Israel is delivered, crowned, and glorified:His hand finds out all His enemies; wickedness is destroyed out of the earth, and the godly rejoice. To the chief musician. A psalm of David.

A King rejoiceth in Thy strength, Jehovah; and in Thy salvation how greatly doth He exult!

2. The desire of His heart Thou hast given
Him, and hast not withholden the request of His lips. Selah.

3. For Thou anticipatest Him with blessings of prosperity; Thou settest upon His head a crown of pure gold.

4. He asked life of Thee; Thou hast given it Him:length of days forever and aye.

5. Great is His glory in Thy salvation:honor and majesty Thou dost put upon Him.

6. For Thou settest Him in blessings for aye:Thou dost gladden Him with joy in Thy presence.

7. For the King trusteth in Jehovah, and in the mercy of the Highest He shall not be moved.

8. Thy hand shall find out all Thine enemies:Thy right hand find out all that hate Thee.

9. Thou wilt set them as a fiery oven in the time of Thy presence; Jehovah shall swallow them up in His anger, and the fire shall devour them.

10. Their fruit shalt Thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the sons of men.

11. For they spread evil over Thee:they have devised a plot they are not able to effect.

12. For Thou makest them turn their back:against their face Thou makest ready Thy bowstrings.

13. Be Thou exalted, Jehovah, in Thine own strength! [so] will we sing and praise Thy might.
