Psalms 21
1 To victorie, the salm of Dauid. Lord, the kyng schal be glad in thi vertu; and he schal ful out haue ioye greetli on thin helthe.
In finem. Psalmus David. [Domine, in virtute tua lætabitur rex, et super salutare tuum exsultabit vehementer.
2 Thou hast youe to hym the desire of his herte; and thou hast not defraudid hym of the wille of hise lippis.
Desiderium cordis ejus tribuisti ei, et voluntate labiorum ejus non fraudasti eum.
3 For thou hast bifor come hym in the blessyngis of swetnesse; thou hast set on his heed a coroun of preciouse stoon.
Quoniam prævenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis; posuisti in capite ejus coronam de lapide pretioso.
4 He axide of thee lijf, and thou yauest to hym; the lengthe of daies in to the world, `and in to the world of world.
Vitam petiit a te, et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum, in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.
5 His glorie is greet in thin helthe; thou schalt putte glorie, and greet fayrnesse on hym.
Magna est gloria ejus in salutari tuo; gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.
6 For thou schalt yyue hym in to blessing in to the world of world; thou schalt make hym glad in ioye with thi cheer.
Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in sæculum sæculi; lætificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo.
7 For the kyng hopith in the Lord; and in the merci of the hiyeste he schal not be moued.
Quoniam rex sperat in Domino, et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.
8 Thyn hond be foundun to alle thin enemyes; thi riythond fynde alle hem that haten thee.
Inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis; dextera tua inveniat omnes qui te oderunt.
9 Thou schalt putte hem as a furneis of fier in the tyme of thi cheer; the Lord schal disturble hem in his ire, and fier schal deuoure hem.
Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui: Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos, et devorabit eos ignis.
10 Thou schalt leese the fruyt of hem fro erthe; and `thou schalt leese the seed of hem fro the sones of men.
Fructum eorum de terra perdes, et semen eorum a filiis hominum,
11 For thei bowiden yuels ayens thee; thei thouyten counseils, whiche thei myyten not stablische.
quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia quæ non potuerunt stabilire.
12 For thou schalt putte hem abac; in thi relifs thou schalt make redi the cheer of hem.
Quoniam pones eos dorsum; in reliquiis tuis præparabis vultum eorum.
13 Lord, be thou enhaunsid in thi vertu; we schulen synge, and seie opinly thi vertues.
Exaltare, Domine, in virtute tua; cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.]
