Psalms 21

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

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

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

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

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

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

4 He asked life of you, and you gave him length of days 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: you will crown him with glory and majesty.

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

6 For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.

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

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

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

8 Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

12 For you shall make them [turn their] back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.

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

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

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