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.

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, watching your power and your glory.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Moja duša trdno sledi tebi; tvoja desnica me podpira.

9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall 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 shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

Padli bodo pod mečem; delež bodo za lisice.

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.

Toda kralj se bo veselil v Bogu, vsak, kdor prisega z njim, bo v tem užival, toda usta teh, ki govorijo laži, bodo zamašena.
