Psalms 21

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Unto the end. A psalm for David.	1 For the leader. A psalm of David.
2 In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.	2 LORD, the king finds joy in your power; in your victory how greatly he rejoices!
3 Thou hast given him his heart's desire: end hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.	3 You have granted him his heart's desire; you did not refuse the prayer of his lips. Selah
4 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.	4 For you welcomed him with goodly blessings; you placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
5 He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.	5 He asked life of you; you gave it to him, length of days forever.
6 His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.	6 Great is his glory in your victory; majesty and splendor you confer upon him.
7 For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.	7 You make him the pattern of blessings forever, you gladden him with the joy of your presence.
8 For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.	8 For the king trusts in the LORD, stands firm through the love of the Most High.
9 Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.	9 Your hand will reach all your enemies; your right hand will reach your foes!
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.	10 At the time of your coming you will drive them into a furnace. Then the LORD'S anger will consume them, devour them with fire.
11 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.	11 Even their descendants you will wipe out from the earth, their offspring from the human race.
12 For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.	12 Though they intend evil against you, devising plots, they will not succeed,
13 For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.	13 For you will put them to flight; you will aim at them with your bow.
14 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.	14 Arise, LORD, in your power! We will sing and chant the praise of your might.
