Psalms 63

1 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!

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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 mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.

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

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

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

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

Ti postade meni pomoć, kličem u sjeni krila tvojih.

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

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

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

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

10 They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.

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

11 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.

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