Psalms 21

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. In your virtue, Lord, the king will rejoice, and over your salvation, he will exult exceedingly.

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

2 You have granted him the desire of his heart, and you have not cheated him of the wish of his lips.

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

3 For you have gone ahead of him with blessings of sweetness. You have placed a crown of precious stones on his head.

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

4 He petitioned you for life, and you have granted him length of days, in the present time, and forever and ever.

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

5 Great is his glory in your salvation. Glory and great adornment, you will lay upon him.

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

6 For you will give him as a blessing forever and ever. You will make him rejoice with gladness in your presence.

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

7 Because the king hopes in the Lord, and in the mercy of the Most High, he will not be disturbed.

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

8 May your hand be found by all your enemies. May your right hand discover all those who hate you.

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

9 You will make them like an oven of fire, in the time of your presence. The Lord will stir them up with his wrath, and fire will 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 fruit from the earth and their offspring from the sons of men.

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

11 For they have turned evils upon you; they have devised plans, which they have not been able to accomplish.

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

12 For you will make them turn their back; with your remnants, you will prepare their countenance.

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

13 Be exalted, Lord, by your own power. We will play music and sing psalms to your virtues.

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