Psalms 21

Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov.

The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

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

Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

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

For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

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

He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

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

His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

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

For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

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

For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

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

Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

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

Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and 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!

Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

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

For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

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

Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.

Ti ćeš ih natjerati u bijeg, svoj luk ćeš usmjeriti na njih. [ (Psalms 21:14) Ustani, Jahve, u sili svojoj! Daj nam da pjesmama slavimo snagu tvoju! ]

Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
