+|Background Ideas=<ul>
+  <li>YHWH placing the crown upon the king’s head shows that he has divine approval and is YHWH's representative who has been installed to lead and protect his people (Craigie 2004:191; cf. Ryken 2000:185).</li>
+  <li>YHWH's presence (or face) is a source of joy to those in his favour (Ps 16:11). "The presence of God is the central promise of the Abrahamic covenant (Ge 17:7–8), of the Mosaic covenant (Ex 25:8; cf. Ge 9:27), and of the Davidic covenant (2 Sa 7:9, 14)" (VanGemeren 2008:231).</li>
+  <li>YHWH promised through covenant with David that his house and kingdom would be established with an enduring legacy (2 Sam 7:16; Ps 61:5–7).</li>
+  <li>The arm is a symbol of strength (Job 35:9, Ps 18:35, Is 52:10). The right side represents strength (Ps 20:6, 78:54), authority (Gen 48:14), and support (Lam 2:3). YHWH does wonderous things by his right arm (Ps 115:15; Ex 15:6), but also uses the hand of his servants to deliver his people (2 Sa 3:18b).</li>

+:1. For the director. A psalm by David.
+:2. YHWH, the king rejoices because of your strength,
+:and how greatly he exults because of your salvation.
+:3. You have granted him his heart’s desire,
+:and not withheld his lips’ request.
+:''Selah''.
+:4. For you meet him with good blessings;
+:You place a golden crown upon his head.
+:5. He asked for life from you; you have granted it to him;
+:Long life, forever and ever.
+:6. His honor is great because of your salvation;
+:You bestow glory and majesty upon him.
+:7. For you give him blessings forever;
+:You make him glad with joy with your presence.
+:8. For the king trusts in YHWH,
+:and because of the faithfulness of the Most High, he will not be shaken.
+:9. Your hand will reach to all your enemies;
+:Your right hand will lay hold of those who hate you.
+:10. You will place them as [in] a fiery oven at the time of your appearance;
+:YHWH will swallow them up in his anger, and fire will consume them.
+:11. You will destroy their offspring from the earth,
+:and their descendants from humankind.
+:12. Because even if they planned evil against you
+:[and] they devised a plot, they would not succeed.
+:13. Because you will make them turn back,
+:With your bowstrings you will take aim at their faces.
+:14. YHWH, be exalted in your strength!
+:Let us sing about and praise your might!}}
