Psalms 63

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty 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 To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

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

3 Because 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 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

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

5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall 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 bed, [and] meditate on thee in the [night] watches.

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

7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

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

8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

Moja duša trdno sledi tebi; tvoja desnica me podpira.

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

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

10 They shall fall by 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: but 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.
