Psalmorum 21
1 Psalmus David, in finem. Domine in virtute tua laetabitur rex: et super salutare tuum exultabit vehementer.
To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. O Yahweh, in thy strength, will the king rejoice, and, in thy salvation, how greatly will he exult!
2 Desiderium cordis eius tribuisti ei: et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum.
The longing of his heart, hast thou given him, and, the request of his lips, hast thou not withheld. (Selah)
3 Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis: posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso.
For thou wilt come to meet him, with the blessings of goodness, Thou wilt set on his head, a crown of pure gold.
4 Vitam petiit a te: et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.
Life, he asked of thee, Thou hast given it him, length of days, to times age-abiding and beyond.
5 Magna est gloria eius in salutari tuo: gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.
Great is his glory, in thy salvation, Honour and majesty, wilt thou lay upon him;
6 Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in saeculum saeculi: laetificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo.
For thou wilt appoint him blessings evermore, wilt cheer him with joy by thy countenance;
7 Quoniam rex sperat in Domino: et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.
For, the king, is trusting in Yahweh, and, in the lovingkindness of the Highest, shall he not be shaken.
8 Inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis: dextera tua inveniat omnes, qui te oderunt.
Thy hand, will find out, all thy foes, Thine own right hand, will find out them who 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 like a furnace of fire, at the time of thy presence, —Yahweh, in his anger, will swallow them up, and there shall consume them a fire:
10 Fructum eorum de terra perdes: et semen eorum a filiis hominum.
Their fruit—out of the earth, wilt thou destroy, and their seed, from among the sons of men;
11 Quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia, quae non potuerunt stabilire.
For they have held out, against thee, a wicked thing, They have devised a scheme they cannot accomplish.
12 Quoniam pones eos dorsum: in reliquiis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum.
For thou wilt cause them to turn their back, Upon thy bow-strings, wilt thou make ready against their face.
13 Exaltare Domine in virtute tua: cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.
Be exalted, O Yahweh, in thy strength! With song and with string will we sound forth thy power.
