Psalmorum 21
1 Psalmus David, in finem. Domine in virtute tua laetabitur rex: et super salutare tuum exultabit vehementer.
To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 Desiderium cordis eius tribuisti ei: et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum.
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis: posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso.
For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness: thou hast set a crown of pure 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, [and] thou gavest [it] to 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 in thy salvation: honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
6 Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in saeculum saeculi: laetificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo.
For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7 Quoniam rex sperat in Domino: et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.
For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through 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 find out all thy enemies: thy right hand shall find out 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 oven in the time of thy 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 mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform].
12 Quoniam pones eos dorsum: in reliquiis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum.
Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when] thou shalt make ready [thy arrows] upon thy strings against the face of them.
13 Exaltare Domine in virtute tua: cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thy own strength: [so] will we sing and praise thy power.
