Psalmi 21
1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, zbog tvoje se moći kralj veseli, zbog pomoći tvoje radosno kliče.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
2 Ti mu ispuni želju srca, ne odbi molitve usana njegovih.
You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Ti ga predusrete blagoslovima sretnim, na glavu mu krunu stavi od suhoga zlata.
For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set 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 you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.
5 Pomoću tvojom slava je njegova velika, uresio si ga veličanstvom i sjajem.
His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.
6 Ti ga učini blagoslovom za vjekove, veseliš ga radošću lica svojega.
For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.
7 Doista, kralj se uzda u Jahvu i po dobroti Svevišnjega neće se pokolebati.
For the king trusts in Yahweh. 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!
Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out 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 make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.
10 Njihovo potomstvo satri sa zemlje i rod im iz sinova ljudskih.
You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.
11 Ako li stanu zlo kovati protiv tebe, ako spremaju spletke, neće uspjeti.
For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
12 Ti ćeš ih natjerati u bijeg, svoj luk ćeš usmjeriti na njih.
For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.
13 Ustani, Jahve, u sili svojoj! Daj nam da pjesmama slavimo snagu tvoju!
Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
