Psalms 63

1 [A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.] God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no 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 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

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

3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

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

4 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

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

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

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

6 when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.

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

7 For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

Ti postade meni pomoć, kličem u sjeni krila tvojih.

8 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

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

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

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

10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

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

11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.

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