Psalms 21

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Unto the end. A psalm for David.	1 [For the choirmaster Psalm Of David] Yahweh, the king rejoices in your power; How your saving helpfills him with joy!
2 In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.	2 You have granted him his heart's desire, not denied him the prayer of his lips.Pause
3 Thou hast given him his heart's desire: end hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.	3 For you come to meet him with blessings of prosperity, put a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.	4 He has asked for life, you have given it him, length of days for ever and ever.
5 He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.	5 Great his glory through your saving help; you invest him with splendour and majesty.
6 His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.	6 You confer on him everlasting blessings, you gladden him with the joy of your presence.
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 For the king puts his trust in Yahweh; the faithful love of the Most High wil keep him from fal ing.
8 For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.	8 Your hand wil reach all your enemies, your right hand al who hate you.
9 Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.	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.
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 You wil purge the earth of their descendants, the human race of their posterity.
11 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.	11 They have devised evil against you but, plot as they may, they will not succeed,
12 For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.	12 since you will make them turn tail, by shooting your arrows in their faces.
13 For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.	13 Rise, Yahweh, in your power! We wil sing and make music in honour of your strength.
14 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.
