Psalmorum 21
1 In finem. Psalmus David. Domine, in virtute tua lætabitur rex, et super salutare tuum exsultabit vehementer.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The King shall reioyce in thy strength, O Lord: yea how greatly shall he reioyce in thy saluation!
2 Desiderium cordis ejus tribuisti ei, et voluntate labiorum ejus non fraudasti eum.
Thou hast giuen him his hearts desire, and hast not denyed him the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Quoniam prævenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis; posuisti in capite ejus coronam de lapide pretioso.
For thou diddest preuent him with liberall blessings, and didest set a crowne of pure gold vpon his head.
4 Vitam petiit a te, et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum, in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.
He asked life of thee, and thou gauest him a long life for euer and euer.
5 Magna est gloria ejus in salutari tuo; gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.
His glory is great in thy saluation: dignitie and honour hast thou laid vpon him.
6 Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in sæculum sæculi; lætificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo.
For thou hast set him as blessings for euer: thou hast made him glad with the ioy of thy countenance.
7 Quoniam rex sperat in Domino, et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.
Because the King trusteth in the Lord, and in the mercie of the most High, he shall not slide.
8 Inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis; dextera tua inveniat omnes qui te oderunt.
Thine hand shall finde out all thine enemies, and thy right hand shall finde out them that hate thee.
9 Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui: Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos, et devorabit eos ignis.
Thou shalt make them like a fierie ouen in time of thine anger: the Lord shall destroy them in his wrath, and the fire shall deuoure them.
10 Fructum eorum de terra perdes, et semen eorum a filiis hominum,
Their fruite shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seede from the children of men.
11 quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia quæ non potuerunt stabilire.
For they intended euill against thee, and imagined mischiefe, but they shall not preuaile.
12 Quoniam pones eos dorsum; in reliquiis tuis præparabis vultum eorum.
Therefore shalt thou put them aparte, and the strings of thy bowe shalt thou make readie against their faces.
13 Exaltare, Domine, in virtute tua; cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.
Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: so will we sing and prayse thy power.
