< Psalms 63 >
1 A Melody of David. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, my GOD, thou art, Earnestly do I desire thee, —My soul thirsteth for thee, My flesh fainteth for thee, In a land—dry, and weary for want of water, —
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 In like manner as, in the sanctuary, I have had vision of thee, To behold thy power and thy glory.
Gledati tvojo moč in slavo: tvojo, kakor sem te gledal v svetem kraji.
3 Because better is thy lovingkindness than life, My lips, aloud shall praise thee!
(Ker milost tvoja je boljša od življenja), hvalijo naj te ustne moje.
4 Thus, will I bless thee while I live, In thy Name, will I lift up mine outspread hands:
Tako te bodem blagoslavljal v življenji svojem, v imenu tvojem bodem povzdigaval svoje roke.
5 As with fatness and richness, shall my soul be satisfied, And, with joyfully shouting lips, shall my mouth utter praise.
Kakor tolšče in masti bode se nasitila duša moja, in z blagoglasnimi ustnami bodo te hvalila usta moja.
6 Should I call thee to mind upon my couch, In the watches of the night, would I breathe soft speech of thee.
Ko se spomnim tebe na ležišči svojem, čujem in premišljam tebe:
7 For thou hast become a help unto me, —And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I shout for joy.
Da si bil velika pomoč meni, tako da sem prepeval v senci tvojih peroti;
8 My soul hath run clinging to thee, On me, hath thy right hand laid hold.
Ko se duša moja tebe drži in gre za teboj, podpira me desnica tvoja.
9 When, they, to crush it, would seek my life, They shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
Zatorej bodejo oni, ki iščejo pogubljenja duše moje, prišli v najspodnje kraje zemlje.
10 Every one shall be given up into the power of the sword, The portion of jackals, shall they become.
Storili bodo, da vsak iz med njih pogine z mečem; lesicam bodejo delež.
11 But, the king, shall rejoice in God, —Every one shall glory who sweareth by him, For the mouth of them who speak falsehood, 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.
