Psalmi 21
1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, zbog tvoje se moći kralj veseli, zbog pomoći tvoje radosno kliče.
For the music director. A psalm of David. The king celebrates your strength, Lord; he is so happy you made him victorious!
2 Ti mu ispuni želju srca, ne odbi molitve usana njegovih.
You gave him everything he wanted; you didn't hold anything back he asked for.
3 Ti ga predusrete blagoslovima sretnim, na glavu mu krunu stavi od suhoga zlata.
You welcomed him on his return with special blessings; you placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 Za život te molio, i ti mu dade premnoge dane - za vijeke vjekova.
He asked you to give him a good life, and you gave him a long life, forever and ever.
5 Pomoću tvojom slava je njegova velika, uresio si ga veličanstvom i sjajem.
Your victories brought him great glory; you granted him splendor and majesty.
6 Ti ga učini blagoslovom za vjekove, veseliš ga radošću lica svojega.
You give him blessings forever. He is full of joy because you are with him.
7 Doista, kralj se uzda u Jahvu i po dobroti Svevišnjega neće se pokolebati.
For the king trusts in the Lord; he stands firm because of the trustworthy love of the Most High.
8 Tvoja ruka nek' pronađe sve dušmane tvoje, desnica tvoja neka stigne one koji te mrze!
You, the king, will find and capture all your enemies; you will seize everyone who hates you.
9 Nek' budu kao u peći ognjenoj kad se ukaže lice tvoje! Nek' ih Jahve gnjevom uništi, neka ih proguta oganj!
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 Njihovo potomstvo satri sa zemlje i rod im iz sinova ljudskih.
You will wipe out their children from the earth, their descendants from humankind.
11 Ako li stanu zlo kovati protiv tebe, ako spremaju spletke, neće uspjeti.
Though they plot evil against you, their malicious schemes will not succeed.
12 Ti ćeš ih natjerati u bijeg, svoj luk ćeš usmjeriti na njih.
They will turn and run away when they see your arrows fired at them.
13 Ustani, Jahve, u sili svojoj! Daj nam da pjesmama slavimo snagu tvoju!
Rise up, Lord, for you are strong! We will sing and praise your power!
