Psalms 21

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, the king is joyful in Your strength, How greatly he rejoices in Your salvation.

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

2 You gave the desire of his heart to him, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

3 For You put blessings of goodness before him, You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

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

4 He has asked for life from You, You have given length of days to him, For all time and forever.

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

5 Great [is] his glory in Your salvation, You place splendor and majesty on him.

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

6 For You make him blessings forever, You cause him to rejoice with joy, By Your countenance.

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

7 For the king is trusting in YHWH, And in the kindness of the Most High he is not moved.

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

8 Your hand comes to all Your enemies, Your right hand finds Your haters.

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

9 You make them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Your presence. YHWH swallows them in His anger, And fire devours them.

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

10 You destroy their fruit from earth, And their seed from the sons of men.

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

11 For they stretched out evil against You, They devised a wicked scheme, they do not prevail,

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

12 For You make them turn their back, When You prepare Your strings against their faces.

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

13 Be exalted, O YHWH, in Your strength, We sing and we praise Your might!

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