Psalmi 21

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

For the music director. A psalm of David. The king celebrates your strength, Lord; he is so happy you made him victorious!

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

You gave him everything he wanted; you didn't hold anything back he asked for.

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

You welcomed him on his return with special blessings; you placed a crown of pure gold on his head.

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

He asked you to give him a good life, and you gave him a long life, forever and ever.

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

Your victories brought him great glory; you granted him splendor and majesty.

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

You give him blessings forever. He is full of joy because you are with him.

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

For the king trusts in the Lord; he stands firm because of the trustworthy love of the Most High.

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

You, the king, will find and capture all your enemies; you will seize everyone who hates you.

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

When you appear on the scene you will burn them up like in a furnace; the Lord in his anger will destroy them, burning them up with fire.

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

You will wipe out their children from the earth, their descendants from humankind.

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

Though they plot evil against you, their malicious schemes will not succeed.

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

They will turn and run away when they see your arrows fired at them.

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

Rise up, Lord, for you are strong! We will sing and praise your power!
