Psalms 21

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in the salvation you provide!

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

2 You have given him his heart's desire and have not held back the request of his lips. (Selah)

Desiderium cordis ejus tribuisti ei, et voluntate labiorum ejus non fraudasti eum.

3 For you bring him rich blessings; you placed on his head a crown of purest gold.

Quoniam prævenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis; posuisti in capite ejus coronam de lapide pretioso.

4 He asked you for life; you gave it to him; you gave him long days forever and ever.

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

5 His glory is great because of your victory; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.

Magna est gloria ejus in salutari tuo; gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.

6 For you grant him lasting blessings; you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

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

7 For the king trusts in Yahweh; through the covenant faithfulness of the Most High he will not be moved.

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

8 Your hand will seize all your enemies; your right hand will seize those who hate you.

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

9 At the time of your anger, you will burn them up as in a fiery furnace. Yahweh will consume them in his wrath, and the fire will devour them.

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

10 You will destroy their offspring from the earth and their descendants from among the human race.

Fructum eorum de terra perdes, et semen eorum a filiis hominum,

11 For they intended evil against you; they conceived a plot with which they will not succeed!

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

12 For you will turn them back; you will draw your bow before them.

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

13 Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength; we will sing and praise your power.

Exaltare, Domine, in virtute tua; cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.]
