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 exsultabit vehementer.

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

Desiderium cordis ejus tribuisti ei, et voluntate labiorum ejus 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 ejus 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 ejus 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.
