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.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.

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

So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

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

Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.

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

So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.

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

My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.

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

When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.

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

For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.

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

My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

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

But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.

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

They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become 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 will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
