The salvation of his right hand is in powers... That is, in strength.
His right hand is strong and mighty to save them that trust in him.

19:8. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon
the name of the Lord, our God.

19:9. They are bound, and have fallen: but we are risen, and are set
upright. O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall
call upon thee.

Psalms Chapter 20

Domine, in virtute.

Praise to God for Christ's exaltation after his passion.

20:1. Unto the end. A psalm for David.

20:2. In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation
he shall rejoice exceedingly.

20:3. Thou hast given him his heart's desire: and hast not withholden
from him the will of his lips.

20:4. For thou hast prevented him with belssings of sweetness: thou hast
set on his head a crown of precious stones.

20:5. He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for
ever and ever.

20:6. His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt
thou lay upon hom.

20:7. For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou
shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.

20:8. For the king hopeth in the Lord: andthrough the mercy of the most
High he whall not be moved.

20:9. Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find
out all them that hate thee.

20:10. 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.

20:11. Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed
from among the children of men.

20:12. For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised
counsels which they have not been able to establish.

20:13. For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou
shalt prepare their face.

In thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face... Or thou shalt set thy
remnants against their faces. That is, thou shalt make them see what
punishments remain for them hereafter from thy justice. Instead of
remnants, St. Jerome renders it funes, that is, cords or strings, viz.,
of the bow of divine justice, from which God directs his arrows against
the faces of his enemies.

20:14. Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and
praise thy power.

Psalms Chapter 21

Deus Deus meus.

Christ's passion: and the conversion of the Gentiles.

21:1. Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David.

21:2. O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my
salvation are the words of my sins.

The words of my sins... That is, the sins of the world, which I have
taken upon myself, cry out against me, and are the cause of all my
sufferings.
