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.

Oh Bog, ti si moj Bog, zgodaj te bom iskal. Mojo dušo žeja po tebi, moje meso hrepeni po tebi v suhi in žejni deželi, kjer ni vode,

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

da bi videl tvojo oblast in tvojo slavo, tako kot sem te videl v svetišču.

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

Ker je tvoja ljubeča skrbnost boljša kot življenje, te bodo moje ustnice hvalile.

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

Tako te bom blagoslavljal, medtem ko živim, svoje roke bom vzdigoval v tvojem imenu.

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

Moja duša bo nasičena kakor z mozgom in tolščo in moja usta te bodo hvalila z radostnimi ustnicami,

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

ko se te spominjam na svoji postelji in o tebi premišljujem v nočnih stražah.

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

Ker si bil ti moja pomoč, zato se bom veselil v senci tvojih peruti.

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

Moja duša trdno sledi tebi; tvoja desnica me podpira.

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

Toda tisti, ki iščejo mojo dušo, da bi jo uničili, bodo šli v globočine zemlje.

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

Padli bodo pod mečem; delež bodo za lisice.

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.

Toda kralj se bo veselil v Bogu, vsak, kdor prisega z njim, bo v tem užival, toda usta teh, ki govorijo laži, bodo zamašena.
