Psalmi 63

1 Bože! ti si Bog moj, k tebi ranim, žedna je tebe duša moja, za tobom èezne tijelo moje u zemlji suhoj, žednoj i bezvodnoj.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to you early; my soul has thirsted for you: how often has my flesh [longed] after you, in a barren and trackless and dry land!

2 Tako bih te ugledao u svetinji, da bih vidio silu tvoju i slavu tvoju.

Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory.

3 Jer je dobrota tvoja bolja od života. Usta bi moja hvalila tebe;

For your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise you.

4 Tako bih te blagosiljao za života svoga, u ime tvoje podigao bih ruke svoje.

Thus will I bless you during my life: I will lift up my hands in your name.

5 Kao salom i uljem nasitila bi se duša moja, i radosnijem glasom hvalila bi te usta moja.

Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise your name.

6 Kad te se sjeæam na postelji, sve noæne straže razmišljam o tebi.

Forasmuch as I have remembered you on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on you.

7 Jer si ti pomoæ moja, i u sjenu krila tvojih veselim se.

For you have been my helper, and in the shelter of your wings will I rejoice.

8 Duša se moja prilijepila za tebe, desnica tvoja drži me.

My soul has kept very close behind you: your right hand has upheld me.

9 Koji traže pogibao duši mojoj, oni æe otiæi pod zemlju.

But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.

10 Izginuæe od maèa, i dopašæe lisicama.

They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.

11 A car æe se veseliti o Bogu, hvaliæe se svaki koji se kune njim, kad se zatisnu usta onima koji govore laž.

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
