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 land, and it is faint without water.

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 As I have beheld thee in the sanctuary, seeing thy strength and thy glory;

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

3 Because thy kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee:

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

4 Thus will I bless thee while I live; in thy name will I lift up my hands.

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

5 As with fat and marrow will my soul be satisfied; and with tuneful lips shall my mouth praise thee.

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

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

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

7 Because thou hast been a help unto me; and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing rejoicingly.

Ti postade meni pomoć, kličem u sjeni krila tvojih.

8 My soul cleaveth unto following thee: me thy right hand upholdeth.

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

9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go down into the lowest deeps of the earth.

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

10 They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword: they shall become a prey for jackals.

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

11 But the king shall rejoice in God: every one that sweareth by him shall glorify himself; for the mouth of those that speak falsehood shall be stopped.

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