Psalms 21

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! 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 have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

3 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. 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 asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

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

5 His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honour and majesty on him.

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

6 For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

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

7 For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

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

8 Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

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

9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall 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 descendants from the earth, their posterity from amongst the children of men.

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

11 For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

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

12 For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

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

13 Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.

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