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, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.

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

So have I 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'.

For thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise thee.

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

So will I 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 hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

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

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

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

But those that 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: every one that sweareth by him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
