Psalms 63

1 A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. God, you are my God! I earnestly search for you, my soul thirsts for you, and 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 looked on you in the sanctuary, to see your power and your glory.

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

3 Because your covenant faithfulness is better than life, my lips will 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 It will be as if I ate a meal of marrow and fatness; with joyful lips my mouth will praise you,

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

6 when I think about you on my bed and meditate on you in the night hours.

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

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

Ti postade meni pomoć, kličem u sjeni krila tvojih.

8 I cling to you; your right hand supports me.

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

9 But those who seek to destroy my life will go down into the lowest parts of the earth;

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

10 they will be given over to those whose hands use the sword, and they will become food for the jackals.

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

11 But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who swears by him will be proud of him, but the mouth of those who speak lies will be stopped up.

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