Psalmorum 21
1 Psalmus David, in finem. Domine in virtute tua laetabitur rex: et super salutare tuum exultabit vehementer.
Yahweh, ([I], your king am glad/the king is glad) because you have caused me/him to be strong. (I rejoice/he rejoices) greatly because you have rescued me/him [from my/his enemies].
2 Desiderium cordis eius tribuisti ei: et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum.
You have given me/him the things that I/he [SYN] desired and you have not refused to do what I requested you to do.
3 Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis: posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso.
In answer to my/his prayer, you enabled me/him to succeed and prosper. You placed a gold crown on my/his head.
4 Vitam petiit a te: et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.
I/He asked you to enable me/him to live [for a long time], and that is what you gave me/him, a very long [HYP] life.
5 Magna est gloria eius in salutari tuo: gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.
(I am/He is) greatly honored because you have helped me/him to defeat my/his enemies; you have made me/him famous.

You will enable me/him to capture [MTY] all my/his enemies and all those who hate me/him.
9 Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui: Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos, et devorabit eos ignis.
When you appear, you will throw them into a fiery furnace. Because you are angry [with them], you will get rid of them; the fire will burn them up.
10 Fructum eorum de terra perdes: et semen eorum a filiis hominum.
You will remove their children from this earth; their descendants will all disappear.
11 Quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia, quae non potuerunt stabilire.
They planned to harm you, but what they plan will never succeed.
12 Quoniam pones eos dorsum: in reliquiis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum.

13 Exaltare Domine in virtute tua: cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.
Yahweh, show us that you are very strong! When you do that, while we sing we will praise you because you are very powerful.
