Psalms 21

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in the salvation you provide!

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

2 You have given him his heart's desire and have not held back the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

3 For you bring him rich blessings; you placed on his head a crown of purest gold.

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

4 He asked you for life; you gave it to him; you gave him long days forever and ever.

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

5 His glory is great because of your victory; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.

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

6 For you grant him lasting blessings; 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 trusts in Yahweh; through the covenant faithfulness of the Most High he will not be moved.

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

8 Your hand will seize all your enemies; your right hand will seize those who hate you.

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

9 At the time of your anger, you will burn them up as in a fiery furnace. Yahweh will consume them in his wrath, and 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 destroy their offspring from the earth and their descendants from among the human race.

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

11 For they intended evil against you; they conceived a plot with which they will not succeed!

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

12 For you will turn them back; you will draw your bow before them.

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

13 Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength; we will sing and praise your power.

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