Psalms 21
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. O Yahweh, in thy strength, will the king rejoice, and, in thy salvation, how greatly will he exult!
In finem. Psalmus David. Domine, in virtute tua lætabitur rex, et super salutare tuum exsultabit vehementer.
2 The longing of his heart, hast thou given him, and, the request of his lips, hast thou not withheld. (Selah)
Desiderium cordis ejus tribuisti ei, et voluntate labiorum ejus non fraudasti eum.
3 For thou wilt come to meet him, with the blessings of goodness, Thou wilt set on his head, a crown of pure gold.
Quoniam prævenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis; posuisti in capite ejus coronam de lapide pretioso.
4 Life, he asked of thee, Thou hast given it him, length of days, to times age-abiding and beyond.
Vitam petiit a te, et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum, in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.
5 Great is his glory, in thy salvation, Honour and majesty, wilt thou lay upon him;
Magna est gloria ejus in salutari tuo; gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.
6 For thou wilt appoint him blessings evermore, wilt cheer 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, is trusting in Yahweh, and, in the lovingkindness of the Highest, shall he not be shaken.
Quoniam rex sperat in Domino, et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.
8 Thy hand, will find out, all thy foes, Thine own right hand, will find out them who hate thee.
Inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis; dextera tua inveniat omnes qui te oderunt.
9 Thou wilt make them like a furnace of fire, at the time of thy presence, —Yahweh, in his anger, will swallow them up, and there shall consume them a fire:
Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui: Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos, et devorabit eos ignis.
10 Their fruit—out of the earth, wilt thou destroy, and their seed, from among the sons of men;
Fructum eorum de terra perdes, et semen eorum a filiis hominum,
11 For they have held out, against thee, a wicked thing, They have devised a scheme they cannot accomplish.
quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia quæ non potuerunt stabilire.
12 For thou wilt cause them to turn their back, Upon thy bow-strings, wilt thou make ready against their face.
Quoniam pones eos dorsum; in reliquiis tuis præparabis vultum eorum.
13 Be exalted, O Yahweh, in thy strength! With song and with string will we sound forth thy power.
Exaltare, Domine, in virtute tua; cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.
