For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah;And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
Thou hast given him his heart's desire,And hast not withholden the request of his lips. [Selah
For thou meetest him with the blessings of {Or, good things}goodness:Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.
He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him,Even length of days for ever and ever.
His glory is great in thy salvation:Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.
For thou {Hebrew: settest him to be blessings. See Genesis 12:2.}makest him most blessed for ever:Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.
For the king trusteth in Jehovah;And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.
Thy hand will find out all thine enemies;Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.
Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine {Or, presence Hebrew: countenance.}anger:Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath,And the fire shall devour them.
Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth,And their seed from among the children of men.
For they intended evil against thee;They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.
For thou wilt make them turn their back;Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.
Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength:So will we sing and praise thy power.

For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
who can bear gently with the ignorant and erring, for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity;
and by reason thereof is bound, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
And no man taketh the honor unto himself, but when he is called of God, even as was Aaron.
So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him, {Psalms 2:7}Thou art my Son,This day have I begotten thee:
as he saith also in another place, {Psalms 110:4}Thou art a priest for everAfter the order of Melchizedek.
Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him {Or, out of}from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered;
and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the {Greek: cause.}author of eternal salvation;
named of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
Of {Or, which}whom we have many things to say, and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are become dull of hearing.
For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again {Or, that one teach you which are the rudiments}that some one teach you the rudiments of the {Greek: beginning.}first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.
For every one that partaketh of milk is {Or, inexperienced in}without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe.
But solid food is for {Or, perfect}fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
