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.
