Psalms 21

1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.

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

2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire: and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.

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

3 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.

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

4 He asked life of thee: and thou hast given 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: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.

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

6 For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.

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

7 For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High 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 thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.

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

9 Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, 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 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.

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

11 For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.

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

12 For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt 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 own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.

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