Psalms 21

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!

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

2 You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

3 For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.

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

4 He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.

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

5 His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.

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

6 For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.

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

7 For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.

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

8 Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.

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

9 You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.

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

10 Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

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

11 For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.

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

12 Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.

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

13 Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.

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