Psalms 21

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in thy strength; and in thy salvation he shall greatly exult.

Gospode! s tvoje se sile veseli car; i kako mu je velika radost što ti pomažeš!

2 Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

Što mu je srce željelo, dao si mu, i molitve usta njegovijeh nijesi odbio.

3 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

Jer si ga doèekao blagoslovima milosnim, metnuo si mu na glavu vijenac od dragoga kamenja.

4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever and ever.

Molio te je za život i dao si mu da mu se produlje dani dovijeka.

5 His glory is great in thy salvation: thou wilt crown him with glory and majesty.

Velika je slava njegova tvojom pomoæu; slavu si i krasotu metnuo na nj.

6 For thou wilt give him a blessing for ever and ever: thou wilt gladden him with joy with thy countenance.

Dao si mu blagoslove dovijeka, razveselio si ga radošæu lica svojega.

7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

Jer se car uzda u Gospoda i u milost višnjega; i ne koleba se.

8 Let thy hand be found by all thine enemies: let thy right hand find all that hate thee.

Naæi æe ruka tvoja sve neprijatelje tvoje, naæi æe desnica tvoja one koji mrze na tebe.

9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven at the time of thy presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

Uèiniæeš ih kao peæ zažarenu, kad se razgnjeviš; gnjev æe ih Gospodnji progutati, i oganj æe ih proždrijeti.

10 Thou shalt destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.

Rod njihov istrijebiæeš sa zemlje, i sjeme njihovo izmeðu sinova èovjeèijih;

11 For they intended evils against thee; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

Jer podigoše na tebe zlo, smisliše i ne mogoše izvršiti.

12 For thou shalt make them [turn their] back in thy latter end, thou wilt prepare their face.

Jer æeš ih metnuti za biljegu, iz lukova svojijeh pustiæeš strijele u lice njihovo.

13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: we will sing and praise thy mighty acts.

Podigni se, Gospode, silom svojom; mi æemo pjevati i slaviti jakost tvoju.
