< Psalmorum 21 >

1 In finem. Psalmus David. Domine, in virtute tua lætabitur rex, et super salutare tuum exsultabit vehementer.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah; And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 Desiderium cordis ejus tribuisti ei, et voluntate labiorum ejus non fraudasti eum.
Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Quoniam prævenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis; posuisti in capite ejus coronam de lapide pretioso.
For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.
4 Vitam petiit a te, et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum, in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.
He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever.
5 Magna est gloria ejus in salutari tuo; gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.
His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.
6 Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in sæculum sæculi; lætificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo.
For thou makest him most blessed for ever: Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.
7 Quoniam rex sperat in Domino, et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.
For the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.
8 Inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis; dextera tua inveniat omnes qui te oderunt.
Thy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.
9 Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui: Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos, et devorabit eos ignis.
Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger: Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them.
10 Fructum eorum de terra perdes, et semen eorum a filiis hominum,
Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men.
11 quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia quæ non potuerunt stabilire.
For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.
12 Quoniam pones eos dorsum; in reliquiis tuis præparabis vultum eorum.
For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.
13 Exaltare, Domine, in virtute tua; cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.
Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power.
