Psalms 21

1 For the leader. A psalm of David. The king rejoices, Lord, in your might, how he exults because of your help!

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

2 You have granted to him his heart’s desire, you have not withheld his lips’ request. (Selah)

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

3 You came to meet him with rich blessings, you set on his head a golden crown.

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

4 He asked you for life, you gave it – many long days, forever and ever.

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

5 Great is his glory because of your help, honor and majesty you lay upon him.

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

6 For you make him most blessed forever, you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

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

7 For the king puts always his trust in the Lord; the Most High, in his love, will preserve him unshaken.

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

8 Your hand will reach all your foes, your right hand, all who hate you.

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

9 You will make them like a furnace of fire, when you appear, Lord. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire will 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 You will sweep their offspring from the earth, their children from humanity.

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

11 When they scheme against you and hatch evil plots – they will fail.

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

12 For you aim your bow at their faces, make them turn in flight.

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

13 Be exalted, Lord, in your strength, to your might we shall sing and make music.

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