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 Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to you early; my soul has thirsted for you: how often has my flesh [longed] after you, in a barren and trackless and dry land!

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

Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory.

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

For your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise you.

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

Thus will I bless you during my life: I will lift up my hands in your name.

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] joyful lips shall praise your name.

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

Forasmuch as I have remembered you on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on you.

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

For you have been my helper, and in the shelter of your wings will I rejoice.

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

My soul has kept very close behind you: your right hand has upheld me.

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

But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.

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

They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions 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; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
