For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance. 7For the king confideth in Jehovah: and through the loving-kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved. 8Thy hand shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
