Psalmi 21

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

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation!

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

You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.

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

For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.

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

He asked You for life, and You granted it— length of days, forever and ever.

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

Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.

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

For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.

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

For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.

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

Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.

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

You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them.

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

You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.

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

Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.

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

For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.

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

Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.
