Psalm 21
Domine, in virtute tua
1
The king rejoices in your strength, O Lord; *
how greatly he exults in your victory!
2
You have given him his heart’s desire; *
you have not denied him the request of his lips.
3
For you meet him with blessings of prosperity, *
and set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
4
He asked you for life, and you gave it to him: *
length of days, for ever and ever.
5
His honor is great, because of your victory; *
splendor and majesty have you bestowed upon him.
6
For you will give him everlasting felicity *
and will make him glad with the joy of your presence.
7
For the king puts his trust in the Lord; *
because of the loving-kindness of the Most High, he will not fall.
8
Your hand will lay hold upon all your enemies; *
your right hand will seize all those who hate you.
9
You will make them like a fiery furnace *
at the time of your appearing, O Lord;
10
You will swallow them up in your wrath, *
and fire shall consume them.
11
You will destroy their offspring from the land *
and their descendants from among the peoples of the earth.
