Lyrics
O LORD, the king rejoices In the strength you give He takes great delight In the deliverance you provide
You grant him his heart’s desire You do not refuse his request For you bring him rich blessings You place a golden crown on his head
He asked you to sustain his life And you have granted him long life And an enduring dynasty Your deliverance brings him great honor You give him majestic splendor
For you grant him lasting blessings You give him great joy By allowing him into your presence
Behold His face Behold His face The upright shall behold His face
For the king trusts in the LORD And because of the Most High’s faithfulness He is not shaken
You prevail over all your enemies Your power is too great For those who hate you
You burn them up Like a fiery furnace when you appear The LORD angrily devours them The fire consumes them
You destroy their offspring from the earth Their descendants from among the human race
Yes, they intend to do you harm They dream up a scheme But they do not succeed For you make them retreat When you aim your arrows at them
Behold His face Behold His face The upright shall behold His face
Rise up, O LORD, in strength! We will sing and praise your power Rise up, O LORD, in strength! We will sing and praise your power
