Praise for Deliverance.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
O Lord, in Your strength the king will Abe glad,
And in Your 1salvation how greatly he will rejoice!
You have Agiven him his heart’s desire,
And You have not withheld the request of his lips. 1
Selah.
For You Ameet him with the blessings of good things;
You set a Bcrown of fine gold on his head.
He asked life of You,
You Agave it to him,
BLength of days forever and ever.
His Aglory is great through Your 1salvation,
BSplendor and majesty You place upon him.
For You make him 1most Ablessed forever;
You make him joyful Bwith gladness in Your presence.
 
For the king Atrusts in the Lord,
And through the lovingkindness of the Most High Bhe will not be shaken.
Your hand will Afind out all your enemies;
Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
You will make them Aas a fiery oven in the time 1of your anger;
The Lord will Bswallow them up in His wrath,
And Cfire will devour them.
10 Their 1offspring You will destroy from the earth,
And their 2Adescendants from among the sons of men.
11  Though they 1Aintended evil against You
And Bdevised a plot,
They will not succeed.
12 For You will Amake them turn their back;
You will 1aim Bwith Your bowstrings at their faces.
13 Be exalted, O Lord, in Your strength;
We will Asing and praise Your power.
