3 Brenton For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou hast set upon his head a crown of precious stone. BSB BSB: For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
4 Brenton He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever and ever. BSB BSB: He asked You for life, and You granted it—length of days, forever and ever.
5 Brenton His glory is great in thy salvation: thou wilt crown him with glory and majesty. BSB BSB: Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.

9 Brenton Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven at the time of thy presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them. BSB BSB: You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them.
