Commentary on Psalms - Volume 5

1O Jehovah! in thy strength rejoice shall the king, And in thy salvation how greatly shall he exult!

2The desire of his heart thou hast given him, And what he uttered with his lips, thou hast not denied him. Selah.

3For thou shalt prevent him with blessings of good; Thou shalt place upon his head a crown of gold.

4Life he asked from thee; Thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.

5Great is his glory in thy salvation: Splendor and beauty thou hast put upon him.

6For thou hast set him [to be] blessings for ever: Thou hast gladdened him with joy before thy countenance.

7For the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the goodness of the Most High, he shall not be moved

8Find out shall thy hand all thy enemies; Thy right hand shall find out thy haters.

9Thou shalt put them as in a furnace of fire in the time of thy wrath, O Jehova! In his wrath he shall overwhelm them, And consume them shall the fire.

10Their fruit from the earth thou wilt destroy, And their seed from among the sons of men.

11For they have spread out against thee evil; They have devised against thee a stratagem which they could not accomplish.

12For thou wilt set them as a butt; On thy strings thou shalt make ready thy arrows against their faces.

13Be thou exalted, O Jehovah! in thy strength, Then we will sing and celebrate in psalms thy power.
