Psalmorum 21

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

The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

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 prevent him with the blessings of goodness: you 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 you, and you gave 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 your salvation: honor and majesty have you laid on him.

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

For you have made him most blessed for ever: you have made him exceeding glad with your countenance.

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

For the king trusts in the LORD, 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

Your hand shall find out all your enemies: your right hand shall find out those that hate you.

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

You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the LORD 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 shall you 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 you: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

12 quoniam pones eos dorsum in reliquis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum

Therefore shall you make them turn their back, when you shall make ready your arrows on your strings against the face of them.

13 exaltare Domine in virtute tua cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas

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