< 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!
Psalm Davidov, ko je bil v puščavi Judovi. O Bog, Bog mogočni si moj, zgodaj te iščem; dušo mojo žeja po tebi; po tebi hrepeni moje meso, v deželi suhi in onemogli brez vodá:
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.
Gledati tvojo moč in slavo: tvojo, kakor sem te gledal v svetem kraji.
3 For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.
(Ker milost tvoja je boljša od življenja), hvalijo naj te ustne moje.
4 Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
Tako te bodem blagoslavljal v življenji svojem, v imenu tvojem bodem povzdigaval svoje roke.
5 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
Kakor tolšče in masti bode se nasitila duša moja, in z blagoglasnimi ustnami bodo te hvalila usta moja.
6 If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
Ko se spomnim tebe na ležišči svojem, čujem in premišljam tebe:
7 Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
Da si bil velika pomoč meni, tako da sem prepeval v senci tvojih peroti;
8 My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
Ko se duša moja tebe drži in gre za teboj, podpira me desnica tvoja.
9 But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
Zatorej bodejo oni, ki iščejo pogubljenja duše moje, prišli v najspodnje kraje zemlje.
10 They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
Storili bodo, da vsak iz med njih pogine z mečem; lesicam bodejo delež.
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.
Kralj pa sam bode se radoval v Bogu; ponašal se bode, kdorkoli priseza pri njem, ko se bodejo zamašila usta laž govorečim.
