Psalms 21

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in thy strength; and in thy salvation he shall greatly exult.

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

2 Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

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

3 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

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

4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever and ever.

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

5 His glory is great in thy salvation: thou wilt crown him with glory and majesty.

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

6 For thou wilt give him a blessing for ever and ever: thou wilt gladden him with joy with thy countenance.

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

7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

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

8 Let thy hand be found by all thine enemies: let thy right hand find all that hate thee.

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

9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven at the time of thy presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

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

10 Thou shalt destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.

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

11 For they intended evils against thee; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

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

12 For thou shalt make them [turn their] back in thy latter end, thou wilt prepare their face.

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

13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: we will sing and praise thy mighty acts.

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