< Psalms 21 >
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation!
in finem psalmus David Domine in virtute tua laetabitur rex et super salutare tuum exultabit vehementer
2 You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.
desiderium animae eius tribuisti ei et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum diapsalma
3 For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso
4 He asked You for life, and You granted it— length of days, forever and ever.
vitam petiit a te et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum in saeculum et in saeculum saeculi
5 Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.
magna gloria eius in salutari tuo gloriam et magnum decorem inpones super eum
6 For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.
quoniam dabis eum benedictionem in saeculum saeculi laetificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo
7 For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.
quoniam rex sperat in Domino et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur
8 Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.
inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis dextera tua inveniat omnes qui te oderunt
9 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.
pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos et devorabit eos ignis
10 You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.
fructum eorum de terra perdes et semen eorum a filiis hominum
11 Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.
quoniam declinaverunt in te mala cogitaverunt consilia quae non potuerunt stabilire
12 For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.
quoniam pones eos dorsum in reliquis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum
13 Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.
exaltare Domine in virtute tua cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas
