Psalmi 21

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

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. O LORD, in Thy strength the king rejoiceth; and in Thy salvation how greatly doth he exult!

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

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

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

For Thou meetest him with choicest blessings; 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 through Thy salvation; honour 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 the LORD, yea, in the mercy 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 be equal to all thine enemies; thy right hand shall overtake 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 thine anger; the LORD shall 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 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 device, wherewith they shall not prevail.

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

For thou shalt make them turn their back, thou shalt make ready with thy bowstrings against the face of them.

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

Be Thou exalted, O LORD, in Thy strength; so will we sing and praise Thy power.
