Psalms 63

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to thee early; my soul has thirsted for thee: how often has my flesh [longed] after thee, in a barren and trackless and dry land!

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.

2 Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary, that I might see thy power and thy glory.

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

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

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

4 Thus will I bless thee during my life: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

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

5 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise thy name.

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

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

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

7 For thou hast been my helper, and in the shelter of thy wings will I rejoice.

Ti postade meni pomoć, kličem u sjeni krila tvojih.

8 My soul has kept very close behind thee: thy right hand has upheld me.

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

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

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

10 They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.

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

11 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.

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