NEW JERUSALEMNOVA VULGATA
1 [For the choirmaster Psalm Of David] Yahweh, the king rejoices in your power; How your saving helpfills him with joy!1 Magistro chori. Psalmus. David.
2 You have granted him his heart's desire, not denied him the prayer of his lips.Pause2 Domine, in virtute tua laetabitur rex
et super salutare tuum exsultabit vehementer.
3 For you come to meet him with blessings of prosperity, put a crown of pure gold on his head.3 Desiderium cordis eius tribuisti ei
et voluntatem labiorum eius non denegasti.
4 He has asked for life, you have given it him, length of days for ever and ever.4 Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis;
posuisti in capite eius coronam de auro purissimo.
5 Great his glory through your saving help; you invest him with splendour and majesty.5 Vitam petiit a te, et tribuisti ei
longitudinem dierum in saeculum et in saeculum saeculi.
6 You confer on him everlasting blessings, you gladden him with the joy of your presence.6 Magna est gloria eius in salutari tuo,
magnificentiam et decorem impones super eum;
7 For the king puts his trust in Yahweh; the faithful love of the Most High wil keep him from fal ing.7 quoniam pones eum benedictionem in saeculum saeculi,
laetificabis eum in gaudio ante vultum tuum.
8 Your hand wil reach all your enemies, your right hand al who hate you.8 Quoniam rex sperat in Domino
et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.
9 You will hurl them into a blazing furnace on the day when you appear; Yahweh wil engulf them in his anger, and fire wil devour them.9 Inveniet manus tua omnes inimicos tuos,
dextera tua inveniet, qui te oderunt.
10 You wil purge the earth of their descendants, the human race of their posterity.10 Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui:
Dominus in ira sua deglutiet eos,
et devorabit eos ignis.
11 They have devised evil against you but, plot as they may, they will not succeed,11 Fructum eorum de terra perdes
et semen eorum de filiis hominum.
12 since you will make them turn tail, by shooting your arrows in their faces.12 Quoniam intenderunt in te mala,
cogitaverunt consilia: nihil potuerunt.
13 Rise, Yahweh, in your power! We wil sing and make music in honour of your strength.13 Quoniam pones eos dorsum,
arcus tuos tendes in vultum eorum.
14 Exaltare, Domine, in virtute tua;
cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas.
