Psalmorum 21

1 in finem psalmus David 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, Jehovah; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice.

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

Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden 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; thou gavest [it] him, length of days for ever and ever.

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

His glory is great through thy salvation; majesty and splendour hast thou laid upon him.

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

For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.

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

For the king confideth in Jehovah: and through the loving-kindness 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 thine 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 furnace in the time of thy presence; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his anger, 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 could not execute.

12 quoniam pones eos dorsum in reliquis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum

For thou wilt make them turn their back; thou wilt make ready thy bowstring against their face.

13 exaltare Domine in virtute tua cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas

Be thou exalted, Jehovah, in thine own strength: we will sing and celebrate thy power.
