Psalms 63

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.

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 So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory.

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

3 For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise Thee.

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

4 So will I bless Thee as long as I live; in Thy name will I lift up my hands.

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

5 My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;

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

6 When I remember Thee upon my couch, and meditate on Thee in the night-watches.

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

7 For Thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice.

Ti postade meni pomoć, kličem u sjeni krila tvojih.

8 My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast.

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

9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth.

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

10 They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes.

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

11 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.

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