Psalmi 21

1 Kralj se bo veselil v tvoji moči, oh Gospod in kako silno se bo radoval v tvoji rešitvi duše!

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. In your virtue, Lord, the king will rejoice, and over your salvation, he will exult exceedingly.

2 Dal si mu željo njegovega srca in nisi zadržal prošnje njegovih ustnic. (Sela)

You have granted him the desire of his heart, and you have not cheated him of the wish of his lips.

3 Kajti vodiš ga z blagoslovi dobrote. Na njegovo glavo postavljaš krono iz čistega zlata.

For you have gone ahead of him with blessings of sweetness. You have placed a crown of precious stones on his head.

4 Prosil te je življenja in ti mu ga daješ, celó dolžino dni na veke vekov.

He petitioned you for life, and you have granted him length of days, in the present time, and forever and ever.

5 Njegova slava v tvoji rešitvi duše je velika. Čast in veličanstvo si položil nanj.

Great is his glory in your salvation. Glory and great adornment, you will lay upon him.

6 Kajti naredil si ga najbolj blagoslovljenega na veke. S svojim obličjem si ga storil silno veselega.

For you will give him as a blessing forever and ever. You will make him rejoice with gladness in your presence.

7 Kajti kralj zaupa v Gospoda in zaradi usmiljenja Najvišjega ne bo omajan.

Because the king hopes in the Lord, and in the mercy of the Most High, he will not be disturbed.

8 Tvoja roka bo zalotila vse tvoje sovražnike. Tvoja desnica bo zalotila tiste, ki te sovražijo.

May your hand be found by all your enemies. May your right hand discover all those who hate you.

9 V času svoje jeze jih boš naredil kakor ognjeno peč. Gospod jih bo v svoji jezi pogoltnil in ogenj jih bo požrl.

You will make them like an oven of fire, in the time of your presence. The Lord will stir them up with his wrath, and fire will devour them.

10 Njihov sad boš uničil z zemlje in njihovo seme izmed človeških otrok.

You will destroy their fruit from the earth and their offspring from the sons of men.

11 Kajti zoper tebe so načrtovali zlo. Domislili so si poguben naklep, ki ga niso mogli izpolniti.

For they have turned evils upon you; they have devised plans, which they have not been able to accomplish.

12 Zato boš storil, da bodo obrnili svoj hrbet, ko boš pripravil svoje puščice na tetive proti njihovim obrazom.

For you will make them turn their back; with your remnants, you will prepare their countenance.

13 Bodi vzvišen, Gospod, v svoji lastni moči. Tako bomo opevali in hvalili tvojo moč.

Be exalted, Lord, by your own power. We will play music and sing psalms to your virtues.
