< Psalms 21 >
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, the king is joyful in Your strength, How greatly he rejoices in Your salvation.
Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, zbog tvoje se moći kralj veseli, zbog pomoći tvoje radosno kliče.
2 You gave the desire of his heart to him, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)
Ti mu ispuni želju srca, ne odbi molitve usana njegovih.
3 For You put blessings of goodness before him, You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
Ti ga predusrete blagoslovima sretnim, na glavu mu krunu stavi od suhoga zlata.
4 He has asked for life from You, You have given length of days to him, For all time and forever.
Za život te molio, i ti mu dade premnoge dane - za vijeke vjekova.
5 Great [is] his glory in Your salvation, You place splendor and majesty on him.
Pomoću tvojom slava je njegova velika, uresio si ga veličanstvom i sjajem.
6 For You make him blessings forever, You cause him to rejoice with joy, By Your countenance.
Ti ga učini blagoslovom za vjekove, veseliš ga radošću lica svojega.
7 For the king is trusting in YHWH, And in the kindness of the Most High he is not moved.
Doista, kralj se uzda u Jahvu i po dobroti Svevišnjega neće se pokolebati.
8 Your hand comes to all Your enemies, Your right hand finds Your haters.
Tvoja ruka nek' pronađe sve dušmane tvoje, desnica tvoja neka stigne one koji te mrze!
9 You make them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Your presence. YHWH swallows them in His anger, And fire devours them.
Nek' budu kao u peći ognjenoj kad se ukaže lice tvoje! Nek' ih Jahve gnjevom uništi, neka ih proguta oganj!
10 You destroy their fruit from earth, And their seed from the sons of men.
Njihovo potomstvo satri sa zemlje i rod im iz sinova ljudskih.
11 For they stretched out evil against You, They devised a wicked scheme, they do not prevail,
Ako li stanu zlo kovati protiv tebe, ako spremaju spletke, neće uspjeti.
12 For You make them turn their back, When You prepare Your strings against their faces.
Ti ćeš ih natjerati u bijeg, svoj luk ćeš usmjeriti na njih.
13 Be exalted, O YHWH, in Your strength, We sing and we praise Your might!
Ustani, Jahve, u sili svojoj! Daj nam da pjesmama slavimo snagu tvoju!
