< Psalms 21 >

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in your strength; and in your salvation he shall greatly exult.
In finem, Psalmus David. Domine in virtute tua lætabitur rex: et super salutare tuum exultabit vehementer.
2 You have granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)
Desiderium cordis eius tribuisti ei: et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum.
3 For you have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.
Quoniam prævenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis: posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso.
4 He asked life of you, and you gave him length of days for ever and ever.
Vitam petiit a te: et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.
5 His glory is great in your salvation: you will crown him with glory and majesty.
Magna est gloria eius in salutari tuo: gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.
6 For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.
Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in sæculum sæculi: lætificabis 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 your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.
Inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis: dextera tua inveniat omnes, qui te oderunt.
9 You shall make them as a fiery oven at the time of your 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 You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [amongst] the sons of men.
Fructum eorum de terra perdes: et semen eorum a filiis hominum.
11 For they intended evils against you; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.
Quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia, quæ non potuerunt stabilire.
12 For you shall make them [turn their] back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.
Quoniam pones eos dorsum: in reliquiis tuis præparabis vultum eorum.
13 Be you exalted, O Lord, in your strength: we will sing and praise your mighty acts.
Exaltare Domine in virtute tua: cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.
