Psalmorum 21
1 in finem psalmus David Domine in virtute tua laetabitur rex et super salutare tuum exultabit vehementer
The king shall joy in thy strength, O Yhwh; 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 puttest before him blessings of goodness: thou settest 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 him, even 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 in thy salvation: honour and majesty 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 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 Yhwh, 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
Thine 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 oven in the time of thine anger: Yhwh 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 reliquis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum
Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
13 exaltare Domine in virtute tua cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas
Be thou exalted, Yhwh, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
