Psalms 21

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, the king is joyful in Your strength, How greatly he rejoices in Your salvation.

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

2 You gave the desire of his heart to him, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

3 For You put blessings of goodness before him, You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

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

4 He has asked for life from You, You have given length of days to him, For all time and forever.

Vitam petiit a te: et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.

5 Great [is] his glory in Your salvation, You place splendor and majesty on him.

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

6 For You make him blessings forever, You cause him to rejoice with joy, By Your countenance.

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

7 For the king is trusting in YHWH, And in the kindness of the Most High he is not moved.

Quoniam rex sperat in Domino: et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.

8 Your hand comes to all Your enemies, Your right hand finds Your haters.

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

9 You make them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Your presence. YHWH swallows them in His anger, And fire devours them.

Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui: Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos, et devorabit eos ignis.

10 You destroy their fruit from earth, And their seed from the sons of men.

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

11 For they stretched out evil against You, They devised a wicked scheme, they do not prevail,

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

12 For You make them turn their back, When You prepare Your strings against their faces.

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

13 Be exalted, O YHWH, in Your strength, We sing and we praise Your might!

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