Psalms 21

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in the salvation you provide!

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

2 You have given him his heart's desire and have not held back the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

3 For you bring him rich blessings; you placed on his head a crown of purest gold.

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

4 He asked you for life; you gave it to him; you gave him long days forever and ever.

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

5 His glory is great because of your victory; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.

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

6 For you grant him lasting blessings; you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

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

7 For the king trusts in Yahweh; through the covenant faithfulness of the Most High he will not be moved.

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

8 Your hand will seize all your enemies; your right hand will seize those who hate you.

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

9 At the time of your anger, you will burn them up as in a fiery furnace. Yahweh will consume them in his wrath, and the fire will devour them.

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

10 You will destroy their offspring from the earth and their descendants from among the human race.

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

11 For they intended evil against you; they conceived a plot with which they will not succeed!

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

12 For you will turn them back; you will draw your bow before them.

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

13 Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength; we will sing and praise your power.

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