Hymnal & Psalter

1 The king in thy great strength, O Lord, shall very joyful be: In thy salvätion rejoice how veh'mently shall he! 2 Thou hast bestowèd upon him all that his heart would have; And thou from him didst not withhold whate'er his lips did crave. 3 For thou with blessings him prevent'st of goodness manifold; And thou hast set upon his head a 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 thee his glory is made great; Honor and comely majesty thou hast upon him set. 6 Because that thou for evermore most blessèd hast him made; And thou hast with thy countenance made him exceeding glad. 7 Because the king upon the Lord his confidence doth lay; And through the grace of the most High shall not be moved away. 8 Thine hand shall all those men find out that en'mies are to thee; Ev'n thy right hand shall find out those of 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 thee did plot mischief and wrong. 12 Thou therefore shalt make them turn back, when thou thy shafts shalt place Upon thy strings, made ready all to 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.
