Psalms 21

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

Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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! ]
