Psalms 63

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Idumea. O God, my God: to you, I keep vigil until first light. For you, my soul has thirsted, to you my body, in so many ways.

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 By a deserted land, both inaccessible and waterless, so I have appeared in the sanctuary before you, in order to behold your virtue and your glory.

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

3 For your mercy is better than life itself. It is you my lips will praise.

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

4 So will I bless you in my life, and I will lift up my hands in your name.

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

5 Let my soul be filled, as if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips.

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

6 When I have remembered you on my bed in the morning, I will meditate on you.

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

7 For you have been my helper. And I will exult under the cover of your wings.

Ti postade meni pomoć, kličem u sjeni krila tvojih.

8 My soul has clung close to you. Your right hand has supported me.

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

9 Truly, these ones have sought my soul in vain. They will enter into the lower parts of the earth.

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

10 They will be delivered into the hand of the sword. They will be the portions of foxes.

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

11 Truly, the king will rejoice in God: all those who swear by him will be praised, because the mouth of those who speak iniquity has been blocked.

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