Psalms 21

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in your strength; and in your salvation he shall greatly exult.

In finem. Psalmus David. [Domine, in virtute tua lætabitur rex, et super salutare tuum exsultabit vehementer.

2 You have granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

Desiderium cordis ejus tribuisti ei, et voluntate labiorum ejus non fraudasti eum.

3 For you have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

Quoniam prævenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis; posuisti in capite ejus coronam de lapide pretioso.

4 He asked life of you, and you gave him length of days for ever and ever.

Vitam petiit a te, et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum, in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.

5 His glory is great in your salvation: you will crown him with glory and majesty.

Magna est gloria ejus in salutari tuo; gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.

6 For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.

Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in sæculum sæculi; lætificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo.

7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

Quoniam rex sperat in Domino, et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.

8 Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.

Inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis; dextera tua inveniat omnes qui te oderunt.

9 You shall make them as a fiery oven at the time of your presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui: Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos, et devorabit eos ignis.

10 You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.

Fructum eorum de terra perdes, et semen eorum a filiis hominum,

11 For they intended evils against you; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia quæ non potuerunt stabilire.

12 For you shall make them [turn their] back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.

Quoniam pones eos dorsum; in reliquiis tuis præparabis vultum eorum.

13 Be you exalted, O Lord, in your strength: we will sing and praise your mighty acts.

Exaltare, Domine, in virtute tua; cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.]
