Psalms 21

1 THE king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

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

2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

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

4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even 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: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

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

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

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

7 For the king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

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

8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those 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 in the time of thine anger: the Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

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

10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

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

11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

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

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

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

13 Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

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