In answer to my/his prayer, you enabled me/him to succeed and prosper. You placed a gold crown on my/his head.
4 He axide of thee lijf, and thou yauest to hym; the lengthe of daies in to the world, `and in to the world of world.
I/He asked you to enable me/him to live [for a long time], and that is what you gave me/him, a very long [HYP] life.
5 His glorie is greet in thin helthe; thou schalt putte glorie, and greet fayrnesse on hym.

You will enable me/him to capture [MTY] all my/his enemies and all those who hate me/him.
9 Thou schalt putte hem as a furneis of fier in the tyme of thi cheer; the Lord schal disturble hem in his ire, and fier schal deuoure hem.
When you appear, you will throw them into a fiery furnace. Because you are angry [with them], you will get rid of them; the fire will burn them up.
10 Thou schalt leese the fruyt of hem fro erthe; and `thou schalt leese the seed of hem fro the sones of men.
You will remove their children from this earth; their descendants will all disappear.
11 For thei bowiden yuels ayens thee; thei thouyten counseils, whiche thei myyten not stablische.
They planned to harm you, but what they plan will never succeed.

You will cause them to run away [IDM] by shooting arrows at them.
13 Lord, be thou enhaunsid in thi vertu; we schulen synge, and seie opinly thi vertues.
Yahweh, show us that you are very strong! When you do that, while we sing we will praise you because you are very powerful.
