Psalms 21

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight 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 kept back the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

3 For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.

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

4 He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever 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: honour and authority have you put on him.

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

6 For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.

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

7 For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.

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

8 Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.

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

9 You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.

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

10 Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

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

11 For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.

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

12 Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.

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

13 Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.

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