Psalms 21

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The King shall reioyce in thy strength, O Lord: yea how greatly shall he reioyce in thy saluation!

in finem psalmus David Domine in virtute tua laetabitur rex et super salutare tuum exultabit vehementer

2 Thou hast giuen him his hearts desire, and hast not denyed him the request of his lips. (Selah)

desiderium animae eius tribuisti ei et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum diapsalma

3 For thou diddest preuent him with liberall blessings, and didest set a crowne of pure gold vpon his head.

quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso

4 He asked life of thee, and thou gauest him a long life for euer and euer.

vitam petiit a te et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum in saeculum et in saeculum saeculi

5 His glory is great in thy saluation: dignitie and honour hast thou laid vpon him.

magna gloria eius in salutari tuo gloriam et magnum decorem inpones super eum

6 For thou hast set him as blessings for euer: thou hast made him glad with the ioy of thy countenance.

quoniam dabis eum benedictionem in saeculum saeculi laetificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo

7 Because the King trusteth in the Lord, and in the mercie of the most High, he shall not slide.

quoniam rex sperat in Domino et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur

8 Thine hand shall finde out all thine enemies, and thy right hand shall finde out them that hate thee.

inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis dextera tua inveniat omnes qui te oderunt

9 Thou shalt make them like a fierie ouen in time of thine anger: the Lord shall destroy them in his wrath, and the fire shall deuoure them.

pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos et devorabit eos ignis

10 Their fruite shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seede from the children of men.

fructum eorum de terra perdes et semen eorum a filiis hominum

11 For they intended euill against thee, and imagined mischiefe, but they shall not preuaile.

quoniam declinaverunt in te mala cogitaverunt consilia quae non potuerunt stabilire

12 Therefore shalt thou put them aparte, and the strings of thy bowe shalt thou make readie against their faces.

quoniam pones eos dorsum in reliquis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum

13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: so will we sing and prayse thy power.

exaltare Domine in virtute tua cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas
