A Psalm of David.

The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD;
and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
² Thou hast given him his heart's desire,
and hast not withholden the request of his lips.
Selah.
³ For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness:
thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
⁴ He asked life of thee,
and thou gavest it him,
even length of days
for ever and ever.
⁵ His glory is great in thy salvation:
honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
⁶ For thou hast made him most blessed for ever:
thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
⁷ For the king trusteth in the LORD,
and through the mercy of the most High
he shall not be moved.

⁸ Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies:
thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
⁹ Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven
in the time of thine anger:
the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath,
and the fire shall devour them.
¹⁰ Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth,
and their seed from among the children of men.
¹¹ For they intended evil against thee:
they imagined a mischievous device,
which they are not able to perform.
¹² Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back,
when thou shalt make ready thine arrows
upon thy strings
against the face of them.
¹³ Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength:
so will we sing and praise thy power.

* NOTE: On Opening and Closing Comments in the Psalms.
[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms.
Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth").
It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments").
I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
