< Psalms 63 >
1 A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou [art] my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.
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 in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.
Gledati tvojo moč in slavo: tvojo, kakor sem te gledal v svetem kraji.
3 Because better [is] Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.
(Ker milost tvoja je boljša od življenja), hvalijo naj te ustne moje.
4 So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.
Tako te bodem blagoslavljal v življenji svojem, v imenu tvojem bodem povzdigaval svoje roke.
5 As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips doth my mouth praise.
Kakor tolšče in masti bode se nasitila duša moja, in z blagoglasnimi ustnami bodo te hvalila usta moja.
6 If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches — I meditate on Thee.
Ko se spomnim tebe na ležišči svojem, čujem in premišljam tebe:
7 For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.
Da si bil velika pomoč meni, tako da sem prepeval v senci tvojih peroti;
8 Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.
Ko se duša moja tebe drži in gre za teboj, podpira me desnica tvoja.
9 And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.
Zatorej bodejo oni, ki iščejo pogubljenja duše moje, prišli v najspodnje kraje zemlje.
10 They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.
Storili bodo, da vsak iz med njih pogine z mečem; lesicam bodejo delež.
11 And the king doth rejoice in God, Boast himself doth every one swearing by Him, But stopped is the mouth of those speaking lies!
Kralj pa sam bode se radoval v Bogu; ponašal se bode, kdorkoli priseza pri njem, ko se bodejo zamašila usta laž govorečim.
