You have granted him his heart’s desire(A)
    and have not withheld the request of his lips.[a]
You came to greet him with rich blessings
    and placed a crown of pure gold(B) on his head.(C)
He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—
    length of days, for ever and ever.(D)
Through the victories(E) you gave, his glory is great;
    you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.(F)
Surely you have granted him unending blessings
    and made him glad with the joy(G) of your presence.(H)
For the king trusts in the Lord;(I)
    through the unfailing love(J) of the Most High(K)
    he will not be shaken.(L)

Your hand will lay hold(M) on all your enemies;
    your right hand will seize your foes.
