Psalms 63

1 A PSALM OF DAVID, IN HIS BEING IN THE WILDERNESS OF JUDAH. O God, You [are] my God, earnestly I seek You, My soul has thirsted for You, My flesh has longed for You, In a dry and weary land, without waters.

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 I have seen You in the sanctuary, To behold Your strength and Your glory.

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

3 Because better [is] Your kindness than life, My lips praise You.

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

4 So I bless You in my life, I lift up my hands in Your Name.

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

5 As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips my mouth praises.

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

6 If I have remembered You on my bed, I meditate on You in the watches.

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

7 For You have been a help to me, And I sing in the shadow of Your wings.

Ti postade meni pomoć, kličem u sjeni krila tvojih.

8 My soul has cleaved after You, Your right hand has taken hold on me.

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

9 And they who seek my soul for desolation, Go into the lower parts of the earth.

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

10 They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, They are a portion for foxes.

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

11 And the king rejoices in God, Everyone swearing by Him boasts, But the mouth of those speaking lies is stopped!

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