Psalm 21
Domine, in virtute tua
1 The King shall rejoice in your strength, O Lord;*
exceedingly glad shall he be of your salvation.
2 You have given him his heart's desire,*
and have not denied him the request of his lips.
3 For you shall meet him with the blessings of goodness,*
and shall set a crown of pure 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 salvation;*
glory and majesty shall you lay upon him.
6 For you shall give him everlasting felicity*
and make him glad with the joy of your countenance.
7 For the King puts his trust in the Lord,*
and because of the mercy of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
8 All your enemies shall feel your hand;*
your right hand shall find those who hate you.
9 You shall make them like a fiery oven in the time of your wrath;*
the Lord shall destroy them in his displeasure, and the fire shall consume them.
10 Their offspring you shall root out of the earth,*
and their seed from among the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against you,*
and imagined wicked schemes, which they are not able to perform.
12 Therefore you shall put them to flight,*
and the strings of your bow you shall aim at their faces.
13 Be exalted, O Lord, in your own strength;*
so we will sing and praise your power.
