You grant him his heart’s desire; you do not refuse his request.(Selah)

For you bring him rich blessings; you place a golden crown on his head.

He asked you to sustain his life, and you have granted him long life and an enduring dynasty.

Your deliverance brings him great honor; you give him majestic splendor.

For you grant him lasting blessings; you give him great joy by allowing him into your presence.

For the king trusts in the LORD, and because of the Most High’s faithfulness he is not shaken.

8
You prevail over all your enemies; your power is too great for those who hate you.

You burn them up like a fiery furnace when you appear; the LORD angrily devours them; the fire consumes them.
-
10
You destroy their offspring from the earth, their descendants from among the human race.

Yes, they intend to do you harm; they dream up a scheme, but they do not succeed.

For you make them retreat when you aim your arrows at them.

Rise up, O LORD, in strength! We will sing and praise your power!
