Psalmorum 21
1 Psalmus David, in finem. Domine in virtute tua laetabitur rex: et super salutare tuum exultabit vehementer.
For the Leader. A Psalm of David. O LORD, in Thy strength the king rejoiceth; and in Thy salvation how greatly doth he exult!
2 Desiderium cordis eius tribuisti ei: et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum.
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and the request of his lips Thou hast not withholden. (Selah)
3 Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis: posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso.
For Thou meetest him with choicest blessings; Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.
4 Vitam petiit a te: et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.
He asked life of Thee, Thou gavest it him; even length of days for ever and ever.
5 Magna est gloria eius in salutari tuo: gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.
His glory is great through Thy salvation; honour and majesty dost Thou lay upon him.
6 Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in saeculum saeculi: laetificabis 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 the LORD, yea, in the mercy 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 shall be equal to all thine enemies; thy right hand shall overtake 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 shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger; the LORD shall 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 shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11 Quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia, quae non potuerunt stabilire.
For they intended evil against thee, they imagined a device, wherewith they shall not prevail.
12 Quoniam pones eos dorsum: in reliquiis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum.
For thou shalt make them turn their back, thou shalt make ready with thy bowstrings against the face of them.
13 Exaltare Domine in virtute tua: cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.
Be Thou exalted, O LORD, in Thy strength; so will we sing and praise Thy power.
