21 In finem, pro susceptione matutina. Psalmus David.

Deus, Deus meus, respice in me: quare me dereliquisti? longe a salute mea verba delictorum meorum.

Deus meus, clamabo per diem, et non exaudies; et nocte, et non ad insipientiam mihi.

Tu autem in sancto habitas, laus Israel.

In te speraverunt patres nostri; speraverunt, et liberasti eos.

Ad te clamaverunt, et salvi facti sunt; in te speraverunt, et non sunt confusi.

Ego autem sum vermis, et non homo; opprobrium hominum, et abjectio plebis.

Omnes videntes me deriserunt me; locuti sunt labiis, et moverunt caput.

Speravit in Domino, eripiat eum: salvum faciat eum, quoniam vult eum.

10 Quoniam tu es qui extraxisti me de ventre, spes mea ab uberibus matris meae.

11 In te projectus sum ex utero; de ventre matris meae Deus meus es tu:

12 ne discesseris a me, quoniam tribulatio proxima est, quoniam non est qui adjuvet.

13 Circumdederunt me vituli multi; tauri pingues obsederunt me.

14 Aperuerunt super me os suum, sicut leo rapiens et rugiens.

15 Sicut aqua effusus sum, et dispersa sunt omnia ossa mea: factum est cor meum tamquam cera liquescens in medio ventris mei.

16 Aruit tamquam testa virtus mea, et lingua mea adhaesit faucibus meis: et in pulverem mortis deduxisti me.

17 Quoniam circumdederunt me canes multi; concilium malignantium obsedit me. Foderunt manus meas et pedes meos;

18 dinumeraverunt omnia ossa mea. Ipsi vero consideraverunt et inspexerunt me.

19 Diviserunt sibi vestimenta mea, et super vestem meam miserunt sortem.

20 Tu autem, Domine, ne elongaveris auxilium tuum a me; ad defensionem meam conspice.

21 Erue a framea, Deus, animam meam, et de manu canis unicam meam.

22 Salva me ex ore leonis, et a cornibus unicornium humilitatem meam.

23 Narrabo nomen tuum fratribus meis; in medio ecclesiae laudabo te.

24 Qui timetis Dominum, laudate eum; universum semen Jacob, glorificate eum.

25 Timeat eum omne semen Israel, quoniam non sprevit, neque despexit deprecationem pauperis, nec avertit faciem suam a me: et cum clamarem ad eum, exaudivit me.

26 Apud te laus mea in ecclesia magna; vota mea reddam in conspectu timentium eum.

27 Edent pauperes, et saturabuntur, et laudabunt Dominum qui requirunt eum: vivent corda eorum in saeculum saeculi.

28 Reminiscentur et convertentur ad Dominum universi fines terrae; et adorabunt in conspectu ejus universae familiae gentium:

29 quoniam Domini est regnum, et ipse dominabitur gentium.

30 Manducaverunt et adoraverunt omnes pingues terrae; in conspectu ejus cadent omnes qui descendunt in terram.

31 Et anima mea illi vivet; et semen meum serviet ipsi.

32 Annuntiabitur Domino generatio ventura; et annuntiabunt caeli justitiam ejus populo qui nascetur, quem fecit Dominus.

Joy in the Salvation of the Lord

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

21 The king shall have joy in Your strength, O Lord;
And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
You have given him his heart’s desire,
And have not withheld the (A)request of his lips. Selah

For You meet him with the blessings of goodness;
You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
(B)He asked life from You, and You gave it to him—
Length of days forever and ever.
His glory is great in Your salvation;
Honor and majesty You have placed upon him.
For You have made him most blessed forever;
(C)You have made him [a]exceedingly glad with Your presence.
For the king trusts in the Lord,
And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be [b]moved.

Your hand will find all Your enemies;
Your right hand will find those who hate You.
You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger;
The Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath,
And the fire shall devour them.
10 Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth,
And their [c]descendants from among the sons of men.
11 For they intended evil against You;
They devised a plot which they are not able to (D)perform.
12 Therefore You will make them turn their back;
You will make ready Your arrows on Your string toward their faces.

13 Be exalted, O Lord, in Your own strength!
We will sing and praise Your power.
