Psalms 21

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The King shall reioyce in thy strength, O Lord: yea how greatly shall he reioyce in thy saluation!

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

2 Thou hast giuen him his hearts desire, and hast not denyed him the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

3 For thou diddest preuent him with liberall blessings, and didest set a crowne of pure gold vpon his head.

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

4 He asked life of thee, and thou gauest him a long life for euer and euer.

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

5 His glory is great in thy saluation: dignitie and honour hast thou laid vpon him.

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

6 For thou hast set him as blessings for euer: thou hast made him glad with the ioy of thy countenance.

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

7 Because the King trusteth in the Lord, and in the mercie of the most High, he shall not slide.

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

8 Thine hand shall finde out all thine enemies, and thy right hand shall finde out them that hate thee.

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

9 Thou shalt make them like a fierie ouen in time of thine anger: the Lord shall destroy them in his wrath, and the fire shall deuoure them.

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

10 Their fruite shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seede from the children of men.

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

11 For they intended euill against thee, and imagined mischiefe, but they shall not preuaile.

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

12 Therefore shalt thou put them aparte, and the strings of thy bowe shalt thou make readie against their faces.

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

13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: so will we sing and prayse thy power.

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