Psalms 21

1 To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

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 hast not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

3 For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness: thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.

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

4 He asked life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] to 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 in thy salvation: honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

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

6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

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

7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through 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 find out all thy enemies: thy right hand shall find out 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 oven in the time of thy 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 mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform].

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

12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when] thou shalt make ready [thy arrows] upon thy strings 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, LORD, in thy own strength: [so] will we sing and praise thy power.

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