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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Moja duša trdno sledi tebi; tvoja desnica me podpira.

9 And they who seek my soul for desolation, 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 cause him to run on the edge of the sword, They are a portion for foxes.

Padli bodo pod mečem; delež bodo za lisice.

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