Psalmus 20 (21) | Psalm 20 (21) |
| 1 In finem Psalmus David | 1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. |
| 2 Domine in virtute tua laetabitur rex et super salutare tuum exultabit vehementer | 2 In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly. |
| 3 Desiderium animae eius tribuisti ei et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum | 3 Thou hast given him his heart's desire: end hast not withholden from him the will of his lips. |
| 4 Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso | 4 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones. |
| 5 Vitam petiit a te et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum in saeculum et in saeculum saeculi | 5 He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever. |
| 6 Magna gloria eius in salutari tuo gloriam et magnum decorem inpones super eum | 6 His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him. |
| 7 Quoniam dabis eum benedictionem in saeculum saeculi laetificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo | 7 For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance. |
| 8 Quoniam rex sperat in Domino et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur | 8 For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. |
| 9 Inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis dextera tua inveniat omnes qui te oderunt | 9 Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee. |
| 10 Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos et devorabit eos ignis | 10 Thou 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. |
| 11 Fructum eorum de terra perdes et semen eorum a filiis hominum | 11 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men. |
| 12 Quoniam declinaverunt in te mala cogitaverunt consilia quae non potuerunt stabilire | 12 For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish. |
| 13 Quoniam pones eos dorsum in reliquis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum | 13 For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face. |
| 14 Exaltare Domine in virtute tua cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas | 14 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power. |
