Psalmorum 21
1 Psalmus David, in finem. Domine in virtute tua laetabitur rex: et super salutare tuum exultabit vehementer.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, the king is joyful in Your strength, How greatly he rejoices in Your salvation.
2 Desiderium cordis eius tribuisti ei: et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum.
You gave the desire of his heart to him, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis: posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso.
For You put blessings of goodness before him, You set 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 has asked for life from You, You have given length of days to him, For all time and forever.
5 Magna est gloria eius in salutari tuo: gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.
Great [is] his glory in Your salvation, You place splendor and majesty on him.
6 Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in saeculum saeculi: laetificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo.
For You make him blessings forever, You cause him to rejoice with joy, By Your countenance.
7 Quoniam rex sperat in Domino: et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.
For the king is trusting in YHWH, And in the kindness of the Most High he is not moved.
8 Inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis: dextera tua inveniat omnes, qui te oderunt.
Your hand comes to all Your enemies, Your right hand finds Your haters.
9 Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui: Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos, et devorabit eos ignis.
You make them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Your presence. YHWH swallows them in His anger, And fire devours them.
10 Fructum eorum de terra perdes: et semen eorum a filiis hominum.
You destroy their fruit from earth, And their seed from the sons of men.
11 Quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia, quae non potuerunt stabilire.
For they stretched out evil against You, They devised a wicked scheme, they do not prevail,
12 Quoniam pones eos dorsum: in reliquiis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum.
For You make them turn their back, When You prepare Your strings against their faces.
13 Exaltare Domine in virtute tua: cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.
Be exalted, O YHWH, in Your strength, We sing and we praise Your might!
