Psalmi 63

1 Psalam. Davidov. Dok David bijaše u Judejskoj pustinji. O Bože, ti si Bog moj: gorljivo tebe tražim; tebe žeđa duša moja, tebe želi tijelo moje, kao zemlja suha, žedna, bezvodna.

O God, thou are my God. I will earnestly seek thee. My soul thirsts for thee, my flesh longs for thee, in a dry and weary land, where is no water.

2 U Svetištu sam tebe motrio gledajuć' ti moć i slavu.

So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary to see thy power and thy glory.

3 Ljubav je tvoja bolja od života, moje će te usne slavit'.

Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

4 Tako ću te slavit' za života, u tvoje ću ime ruke dizati.

So I will bless thee while I live. I will lift up my hands in thy name.

5 Duša će mi biti kao sala i mrsa sita, hvalit ću te kliktavim ustima.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness. And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips

6 Na postelji se tebe spominjem, u bdjenjima noćnim mislim na tebe.

when I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night-watches.

7 Ti postade meni pomoć, kličem u sjeni krila tvojih.

For thou have been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice.

8 Duša se moja k tebi privija, desnica me tvoja drži.

My soul follows close after thee. Thy right hand upholds me.

9 Oni što dušu u propast guraju neka siđu u dubinu zemlje,

But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 nek' vlasti mača predani budu, nek' postanu plijen šakalima.

They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be a portion for foxes.

11 A kralj će se radovat' u Bogu, slavit će se tko se kune njime, jer će lašcima biti začepljena usta.

But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him shall glory, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
