< 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.
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 As I have beheld thee in the sanctuary, seeing thy strength and thy glory;
Gledati tvojo moč in slavo: tvojo, kakor sem te gledal v svetem kraji.
3 Because thy kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee:
(Ker milost tvoja je boljša od življenja), hvalijo naj te ustne moje.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live; in thy name will I lift up my hands.
Tako te bodem blagoslavljal v življenji svojem, v imenu tvojem bodem povzdigaval svoje roke.
5 As with fat and marrow will my soul be satisfied; and with tuneful lips shall my mouth praise thee.
Kakor tolšče in masti bode se nasitila duša moja, in z blagoglasnimi ustnami bodo te hvalila usta moja.
6 When I remember thee upon my couch, I meditate on thee in the night-watches.
Ko se spomnim tebe na ležišči svojem, čujem in premišljam tebe:
7 Because thou hast been a help unto me; and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing rejoicingly.
Da si bil velika pomoč meni, tako da sem prepeval v senci tvojih peroti;
8 My soul cleaveth unto following thee: me thy right hand upholdeth.
Ko se duša moja tebe drži in gre za teboj, podpira me desnica tvoja.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go down into the lowest deeps of the earth.
Zatorej bodejo oni, ki iščejo pogubljenja duše moje, prišli v najspodnje kraje zemlje.
10 They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword: they shall become a prey for jackals.
Storili bodo, da vsak iz med njih pogine z mečem; lesicam bodejo delež.
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.
Kralj pa sam bode se radoval v Bogu; ponašal se bode, kdorkoli priseza pri njem, ko se bodejo zamašila usta laž govorečim.
