Psalmi 21

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

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

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

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

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

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

4 Molio te je za život i dao si mu da mu se produlje dani dovijeka.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8 Naæi æe ruka tvoja sve neprijatelje tvoje, naæi æe desnica tvoja one koji mrze na tebe.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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