Psalms 21

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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