Psalmi 21

1 Načelniku godbe; psalm Davidov. Gospod, moči tvoje veseli se kralj, in blaginje tvoje kako se silno raduje!

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

2 Željo srca njegovega mu daješ, in kar so ustne njegove govorile, ne odrékaš.

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

3 Dà, prehitevaš ga z blagodari, na glavo njegovo pokladaš venec iz zlata prečistega.

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

4 Življenja te je prosil, dal si mu; tudi dnî dolgost na vedno večne čase.

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

5 Velika je slava njegova po blaginji tvoji; díko in veličastvo si položil nanj.

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

6 Ker pripravil si mu blagoslove na vekomaj; razjasnil ga z radostjo od svojega obličja.

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

7 Ker kralj sam upa v Gospoda; zato v zaupanji na milost Najvišjega ne omahne.

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

8 Z roko svojo dosežeš vse neprijatelje svoje; z desnico svojo dosežeš vse svoje sovražnike.

Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

9 Narediš, da so kakor peč ognjena ob času srditega obličja tvojega; Gospod jih pogoltne v jezi svoji, kakor da jih ogenj uniči.

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 Sad njih pokončaš sè zemlje, in njih seme izmed sinov človeških.

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

11 Ker nameravali so ti hudo; izmišljali so naklep: ne morejo!

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

12 Ker staviš jih kakor gomilo; na strune svoje pokladaš pušice ter jih streljaš proti njih obličjem.

For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

13 Dvigni se, Gospod, v moči svoji; pojmo in prepevajmo o hrabrosti tvoji.

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