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 desert of Edom. O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!

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

In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.

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

For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.

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

Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.

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

Let my soul be filled 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.

If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:

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

Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:

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

My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.

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

But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:

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

They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of 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, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
