< Psalms 21 >
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in thy strength; and in thy salvation he shall greatly exult.
Psalmus David, in finem. Domine in virtute tua laetabitur rex: et super salutare tuum exultabit vehementer.
2 Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)
Desiderium cordis eius tribuisti ei: et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum.
3 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.
Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis: posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso.
4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever 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: thou wilt crown him with glory and majesty.
Magna est gloria eius in salutari tuo: gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.
6 For thou wilt give him a blessing for ever and ever: thou wilt gladden him with joy with thy countenance.
Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in saeculum saeculi: laetificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.
Quoniam rex sperat in Domino: et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.
8 Let thy hand be found by all thine enemies: let thy right hand find all that hate thee.
Inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis: dextera tua inveniat omnes, qui te oderunt.
9 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.
Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui: Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos, et devorabit eos ignis.
10 Thou shalt 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 evils against thee; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.
Quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia, quae non potuerunt stabilire.
12 For thou shalt make them [turn their] back in thy latter end, thou wilt prepare their face.
Quoniam pones eos dorsum: in reliquiis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum.
13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: we will sing and praise thy mighty acts.
Exaltare Domine in virtute tua: cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.
