Psalmi 21

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

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

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

You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

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

He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

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

His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honour and majesty on him.

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

For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

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

For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

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

Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out 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 as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

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

You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from amongst the children of men.

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

For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

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, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

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

Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
