Psalmi 63

1 Oh Bog, ti si moj Bog, zgodaj te bom iskal. Mojo dušo žeja po tebi, moje meso hrepeni po tebi v suhi in žejni deželi, kjer ni vode,

A psalm of David, when he was in the Judean desert. God, you are my God, I eagerly look for you. I am thirsty for you; all that I am longs for you in this dry, weary, waterless land.

2 da bi videl tvojo oblast in tvojo slavo, tako kot sem te videl v svetišču.

I see you in the Temple; I watch your power and glory.

3 Ker je tvoja ljubeča skrbnost boljša kot življenje, te bodo moje ustnice hvalile.

Your trustworthy love is better than life itself; I will praise you.

4 Tako te bom blagoslavljal, medtem ko živim, svoje roke bom vzdigoval v tvojem imenu.

I will thank you as long as I live; I lift up my hands as I celebrate your wonderful character.

5 Moja duša bo nasičena kakor z mozgom in tolščo in moja usta te bodo hvalila z radostnimi ustnicami,

You satisfy me more than the richest food; I will praise you with joyful songs.

6 ko se te spominjam na svoji postelji in o tebi premišljujem v nočnih stražah.

I think of you all night long as I lie on my bed meditating about you.

7 Ker si bil ti moja pomoč, zato se bom veselil v senci tvojih peruti.

For you are the one who helps me; I sing happily from under your wings.

8 Moja duša trdno sledi tebi; tvoja desnica me podpira.

I hold on to you; your strong arms lift me up.

9 Toda tisti, ki iščejo mojo dušo, da bi jo uničili, bodo šli v globočine zemlje.

Those who are trying to destroy me will go down into the grave.

10 Padli bodo pod mečem; delež bodo za lisice.

They will be killed by the sword; they will become food for jackals.

11 Toda kralj se bo veselil v Bogu, vsak, kdor prisega z njim, bo v tem užival, toda usta teh, ki govorijo laži, bodo zamašena.

But the king will be happy for what God has done. All who follow God will praise him, but those who tell lies will be silenced.
