Original text and translations

English text

The King shall rejoice in thy strength, O Lord.

Exceeding glad shall he be of thy salvation.

Glory and great worship hast thou laid upon him.

Thou hast prevented him with the blessings of goodness
and hast set a crown of pure gold upon his head.

Allelujah.
