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, O LORD; 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 preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest 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, [and] 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: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

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

For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

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

For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through 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!

Thine 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 oven 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 mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform].

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

Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when] thou shalt make ready [thine arrows] upon thy strings against the face of them.

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

Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: [so] will we sing and praise thy power.
