Psalmi 21

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

The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

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

You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

For you prevent him with the blessings of goodness: you set a crown of pure gold on his head.

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

He asked life of you, and you gave it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

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

His glory is great in your salvation: honor and majesty have you laid on him.

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

For you have made him most blessed for ever: you have made him exceeding glad with your countenance.

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

For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

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

Your hand shall find out all your enemies: your right hand shall find out those that hate you.

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

You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

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

Their fruit shall you destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

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

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

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

Therefore shall you make them turn their back, when you shall make ready your arrows on your strings against the face of them.

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

Be you exalted, LORD, in your own strength: so will we sing and praise your power.
