1 in finem psalmus David Domine in virtute tua laetabitur rex et super salutare tuum exultabit vehementer

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation!

2 desiderium animae eius tribuisti ei et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum diapsalma

You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.

3 quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso

For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.

4 vitam petiit a te et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum in saeculum et in saeculum saeculi

He asked You for life, and You granted it— length of days, forever and ever.

5 magna gloria eius in salutari tuo gloriam et magnum decorem inpones super eum

Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.

6 quoniam dabis eum benedictionem in saeculum saeculi laetificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo

For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.

7 quoniam rex sperat in Domino et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur

For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.

8 inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis dextera tua inveniat omnes qui te oderunt

Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.

9 pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos et devorabit eos ignis

You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them.

10 fructum eorum de terra perdes et semen eorum a filiis hominum

You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.

11 quoniam declinaverunt in te mala cogitaverunt consilia quae non potuerunt stabilire

Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.

12 quoniam pones eos dorsum in reliquis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum

For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.

13 exaltare Domine in virtute tua cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas

Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.
