Psalms 21

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, Jehovah; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice.

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

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

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

3 For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness; thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.

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

4 He asked life of thee; thou gavest [it] 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 through thy salvation; majesty and splendour hast thou laid upon him.

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

6 For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.

Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in sæculum sæculi: lætificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo.

7 For the king confideth 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 shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

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

9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thy presence; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his anger, 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 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

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

11 For they intended evil against thee; they imagined a mischievous device, which they could not execute.

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

12 For thou wilt make them turn their back; thou wilt make ready thy bowstring against their face.

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

13 Be thou exalted, Jehovah, in thine own strength: we will sing and celebrate thy power.

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