< Psalms 21 >

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. The king celebrates your strength, Lord; he is so happy you made him victorious!
Gospode! s tvoje se sile veseli car; i kako mu je velika radost što ti pomažeš!
2 You gave him everything he wanted; you didn't hold anything back he asked for.
Što mu je srce željelo, dao si mu, i molitve usta njegovijeh nijesi odbio.
3 You welcomed him on his return with special blessings; you placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
Jer si ga doèekao blagoslovima milosnim, metnuo si mu na glavu vijenac od dragoga kamenja.
4 He asked you to give him a good life, and you gave him a long life, forever and ever.
Molio te je za život i dao si mu da mu se produlje dani dovijeka.
5 Your victories brought him great glory; you granted him splendor and majesty.
Velika je slava njegova tvojom pomoæu; slavu si i krasotu metnuo na nj.
6 You give him blessings forever. He is full of joy because you are with him.
Dao si mu blagoslove dovijeka, razveselio si ga radošæu lica svojega.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord; he stands firm because of the trustworthy love of the Most High.
Jer se car uzda u Gospoda i u milost višnjega; i ne koleba se.
8 You, the king, will find and capture all your enemies; you will seize everyone who hates you.
Naæi æe ruka tvoja sve neprijatelje tvoje, naæi æe desnica tvoja one koji mrze na tebe.
9 When you appear on the scene you will burn them up like in a furnace; the Lord in his anger will destroy them, burning them up with fire.
Uèiniæeš ih kao peæ zažarenu, kad se razgnjeviš; gnjev æe ih Gospodnji progutati, i oganj æe ih proždrijeti.
10 You will wipe out their children from the earth, their descendants from humankind.
Rod njihov istrijebiæeš sa zemlje, i sjeme njihovo izmeðu sinova èovjeèijih;
11 Though they plot evil against you, their malicious schemes will not succeed.
Jer podigoše na tebe zlo, smisliše i ne mogoše izvršiti.
12 They will turn and run away when they see your arrows fired at them.
Jer æeš ih metnuti za biljegu, iz lukova svojijeh pustiæeš strijele u lice njihovo.
13 Rise up, Lord, for you are strong! We will sing and praise your power!
Podigni se, Gospode, silom svojom; mi æemo pjevati i slaviti jakost tvoju.
