圣咏集 21

1Unto the end. A psalm for David.

2In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.

3Thou hast given him his heart’s desire: and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.

4For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.

5He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.

6His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.

7For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.

8For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

9Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.

10Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.

11Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.

12For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.

13For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.

14Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.

1In finem. Psalmus David.

2[Domine, in virtute tua lætabitur rex, et super salutare tuum exsultabit vehementer.

3Desiderium cordis ejus tribuisti ei, et voluntate labiorum ejus non fraudasti eum.

4Quoniam prævenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis; posuisti in capite ejus coronam de lapide pretioso.

5Vitam petiit a te, et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum, in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.

6Magna est gloria ejus in salutari tuo; gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.

7Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in sæculum sæculi; lætificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo.

8Quoniam rex sperat in Domino, et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.

9Inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis; dextera tua inveniat omnes qui te oderunt.

10Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui: Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos, et devorabit eos ignis.

11Fructum eorum de terra perdes, et semen eorum a filiis hominum,

12quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia quæ non potuerunt stabilire.

13Quoniam pones eos dorsum; in reliquiis tuis præparabis vultum eorum.

14Exaltare, Domine, in virtute tua; cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.]

1Unto the end. A Psalm of David.

2In your virtue, Lord, the king will rejoice, and over your salvation, he will exult exceedingly.

3You have granted him the desire of his heart, and you have not cheated him of the wish of his lips.

4For you have gone ahead of him with blessings of sweetness. You have placed a crown of precious stones on his head.

5He petitioned you for life, and you have granted him length of days, in the present time, and forever and ever.

6Great is his glory in your salvation. Glory and great adornment, you will lay upon him.

7For you will give him as a blessing forever and ever. You will make him rejoice with gladness in your presence.

8Because the king hopes in the Lord, and in the mercy of the Most High, he will not be disturbed.

9May your hand be found by all your enemies. May your right hand discover all those who hate you.

10You will make them like an oven of fire, in the time of your presence. The Lord will stir them up with his wrath, and fire will devour them.

11You will destroy their fruit from the earth and their offspring from the sons of men.

12For they have turned evils upon you; they have devised plans, which they have not been able to accomplish.

13For you will make them turn their back; with your remnants, you will prepare their countenance.

14Be exalted, Lord, by your own power. We will play music and sing psalms to your virtues.
