Psalms 21

1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah. And in thy salvation how greatly he shall rejoice!

Psalmus David, in finem. Domine in virtute tua laetabitur rex: et super salutare tuum exultabit vehementer.

2 Thou have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

Desiderium cordis eius tribuisti ei: et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum.

3 For thou meet him with the blessings of goodness. Thou set a crown of fine gold on his head.

Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis: posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso.

4 He asked life from thee. Thou gave it him, even length of days forever and ever.

Vitam petiit a te: et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.

5 His glory is great in thy salvation. Honor and majesty thou do lay upon him.

Magna est gloria eius in salutari tuo: gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.

6 For thou make him most blessed forever. Thou make him glad with joy in thy presence.

Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in saeculum saeculi: laetificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo.

7 For the king trusts in Jehovah. And through the loving kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

Quoniam rex sperat in Domino: et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.

8 Thy hand will find out all thine enemies. Thy right hand will find out those who hate thee.

Inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis: dextera tua inveniat omnes, qui te oderunt.

9 Thou will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger. Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui: Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos, et devorabit eos ignis.

10 Thou will destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from among the sons of men.

Fructum eorum de terra perdes: et semen eorum a filiis hominum.

11 For they intended evil against thee. They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

Quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia, quae non potuerunt stabilire.

12 For thou will make them turn their back. Thou will make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.

Quoniam pones eos dorsum: in reliquiis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum.

13 Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength. We will sing and praise thy power.

Exaltare Domine in virtute tua: cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.
