Psalmi 21
1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, zbog tvoje se moći kralj veseli, zbog pomoći tvoje radosno kliče.
For the leader. A psalm of David. The king rejoices, Lord, in your might, how he exults because of your help!
2 Ti mu ispuni želju srca, ne odbi molitve usana njegovih.
You have granted to him his heart’s desire, you have not withheld his lips’ request. (Selah)
3 Ti ga predusrete blagoslovima sretnim, na glavu mu krunu stavi od suhoga zlata.
You came to meet him with rich blessings, you set on his head a golden crown.
4 Za život te molio, i ti mu dade premnoge dane - za vijeke vjekova.
He asked you for life, you gave it – many long days, forever and ever.
5 Pomoću tvojom slava je njegova velika, uresio si ga veličanstvom i sjajem.
Great is his glory because of your help, honor and majesty you lay upon him.
6 Ti ga učini blagoslovom za vjekove, veseliš ga radošću lica svojega.
For you make him most blessed forever, you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
7 Doista, kralj se uzda u Jahvu i po dobroti Svevišnjega neće se pokolebati.
For the king puts always his trust in the Lord; the Most High, in his love, will preserve him unshaken.
8 Tvoja ruka nek' pronađe sve dušmane tvoje, desnica tvoja neka stigne one koji te mrze!
Your hand will reach all your foes, your right hand, all who hate you.
9 Nek' budu kao u peći ognjenoj kad se ukaže lice tvoje! Nek' ih Jahve gnjevom uništi, neka ih proguta oganj!
You will make them like a furnace of fire, when you appear, Lord. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire will devour them.
10 Njihovo potomstvo satri sa zemlje i rod im iz sinova ljudskih.
You will sweep their offspring from the earth, their children from humanity.
11 Ako li stanu zlo kovati protiv tebe, ako spremaju spletke, neće uspjeti.
When they scheme against you and hatch evil plots – they will fail.
12 Ti ćeš ih natjerati u bijeg, svoj luk ćeš usmjeriti na njih.
For you aim your bow at their faces, make them turn in flight.
13 Ustani, Jahve, u sili svojoj! Daj nam da pjesmama slavimo snagu tvoju!
Be exalted, Lord, in your strength, to your might we shall sing and make music.
