Psalms 21

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!

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

2 You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

3 For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.

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

4 He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.

Za život te molio, i ti mu dade premnoge dane - za vijeke vjekova.

5 His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.

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

6 For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.

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

7 For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.

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

8 Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.

Tvoja ruka nek' pronađe sve dušmane tvoje, desnica tvoja neka stigne one koji te mrze!

9 You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.

Nek' budu kao u peći ognjenoj kad se ukaže lice tvoje! Nek' ih Jahve gnjevom uništi, neka ih proguta oganj!

10 Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

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

11 For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.

Ako li stanu zlo kovati protiv tebe, ako spremaju spletke, neće uspjeti.

12 Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.

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

13 Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.

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