English text
O Lord, grant the king a long life,
that his years may endure throughout all generations.
He shall dwell before God for ever.
O, prepare thy loving mercy and faithfulness,
that they may preserve him.
As for his enemies, clothe them all with shame;
but upon himself let his crown flourish.
Hallelujah.
