Psalmi 21

1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, zbog tvoje se moći kralj veseli, zbog pomoći tvoje radosno kliče.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah; And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

2 Ti mu ispuni želju srca, ne odbi molitve usana njegovih.

Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. (Selah)

3 Ti ga predusrete blagoslovima sretnim, na glavu mu krunu stavi od suhoga zlata.

For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 Za život te molio, i ti mu dade premnoge dane - za vijeke vjekova.

He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever.

5 Pomoću tvojom slava je njegova velika, uresio si ga veličanstvom i sjajem.

His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.

6 Ti ga učini blagoslovom za vjekove, veseliš ga radošću lica svojega.

For thou makest him most blessed for ever: Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.

7 Doista, kralj se uzda u Jahvu i po dobroti Svevišnjega neće se pokolebati.

For the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

8 Tvoja ruka nek' pronađe sve dušmane tvoje, desnica tvoja neka stigne one koji te mrze!

Thy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.

9 Nek' budu kao u peći ognjenoj kad se ukaže lice tvoje! Nek' ih Jahve gnjevom uništi, neka ih proguta oganj!

Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger: Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them.

10 Njihovo potomstvo satri sa zemlje i rod im iz sinova ljudskih.

Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men.

11 Ako li stanu zlo kovati protiv tebe, ako spremaju spletke, neće uspjeti.

For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

12 Ti ćeš ih natjerati u bijeg, svoj luk ćeš usmjeriti na njih.

For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.

13 Ustani, Jahve, u sili svojoj! Daj nam da pjesmama slavimo snagu tvoju!

Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power.
