Psalms 21

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

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

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

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

3 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

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

4 He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

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

5 His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

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

6 For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

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

7 For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

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

8 Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

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

9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

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

10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.

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

11 For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

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

12 For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

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

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

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