< Psalms 21 >
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. O LORD, in Thy strength the king rejoiceth; and in Thy salvation how greatly doth he exult!
Kralj se bo veselil v tvoji moči, oh Gospod in kako silno se bo radoval v tvoji rešitvi duše!
2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and the request of his lips Thou hast not withholden. (Selah)
Dal si mu željo njegovega srca in nisi zadržal prošnje njegovih ustnic. (Sela)
3 For Thou meetest him with choicest blessings; Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.
Kajti vodiš ga z blagoslovi dobrote. Na njegovo glavo postavljaš krono iz čistega zlata.
4 He asked life of Thee, Thou gavest it him; even length of days for ever and ever.
Prosil te je življenja in ti mu ga daješ, celó dolžino dni na veke vekov.
5 His glory is great through Thy salvation; honour and majesty dost Thou lay upon him.
Njegova slava v tvoji rešitvi duše je velika. Čast in veličanstvo si položil nanj.
6 For Thou makest him most blessed for ever; Thou makest him glad with joy in Thy presence.
Kajti naredil si ga najbolj blagoslovljenega na veke. S svojim obličjem si ga storil silno veselega.
7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, yea, in the mercy of the Most High; he shall not be moved.
Kajti kralj zaupa v Gospoda in zaradi usmiljenja Najvišjega ne bo omajan.
8 Thy hand shall be equal to all thine enemies; thy right hand shall overtake those that hate thee.
Tvoja roka bo zalotila vse tvoje sovražnike. Tvoja desnica bo zalotila tiste, ki te sovražijo.
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger; the LORD shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
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 shalt thou destroy 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 they intended evil against thee, they imagined a device, wherewith they shall not prevail.
Kajti zoper tebe so načrtovali zlo. Domislili so si poguben naklep, ki ga niso mogli izpolniti.
12 For thou shalt make them turn their back, thou shalt make ready with thy bowstrings against the face of them.
Zato boš storil, da bodo obrnili svoj hrbet, ko boš pripravil svoje puščice na tetive proti njihovim obrazom.
13 Be Thou exalted, O LORD, in Thy strength; so will we sing and praise Thy power.
Bodi vzvišen, Gospod, v svoji lastni moči. Tako bomo opevali in hvalili tvojo moč.
