Psalmi 21

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

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, 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 hast met him with the blessings of goodness; thou hast set a crown of pure 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, length of days for ever and ever.

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

His glory is great through thy salvation; majesty and splendour hast thou laid upon him.

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

For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.

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

For the king confideth in Jehovah: and through the loving-kindness 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 shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall 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 shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thy presence; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his anger, and the fire shall devour them:

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

Their fruit shalt 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 imagined a mischievous device, which they could not execute.

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 thy bowstring against their face.

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

Be thou exalted, Jehovah, in thine own strength: we will sing and celebrate thy power.
