< 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 and weary land, where no water is.
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 So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, to see thy power and thy glory.
Gledati tvojo moč in slavo: tvojo, kakor sem te gledal v svetem kraji.
3 For thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise thee.
(Ker milost tvoja je boljša od življenja), hvalijo naj te ustne moje.
4 So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
Tako te bodem blagoslavljal v življenji svojem, v imenu tvojem bodem povzdigaval svoje roke.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips;
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 bed, [and] meditate on thee in the night watches.
Ko se spomnim tebe na ležišči svojem, čujem in premišljam tebe:
7 For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
Da si bil velika pomoč meni, tako da sem prepeval v senci tvojih peroti;
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
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 into the lower parts of the earth.
Zatorej bodejo oni, ki iščejo pogubljenja duše moje, prišli v najspodnje kraje zemlje.
10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
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 glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies 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.
