You have given to him all the things
    that he really wanted.
When he asked for them,
    you have not refused to give them to him.
Selah.
You came to him,
    and you blessed him with many good things:
You put a crown on his head.
    It was made from the best gold.
He asked you to keep his life safe,
    and you gave to him a long life.
His descendants will continue for ever.
