Psalmorum 21

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

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

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

You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

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

He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

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

His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honour and majesty on him.

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

For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad 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 kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

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

Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out 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 make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

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

You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from amongst the children of men.

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

For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

12 quoniam pones eos dorsum in reliquis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum

For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

13 exaltare Domine in virtute tua cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas

Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
