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 by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.] God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

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

So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

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

Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

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

So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

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

My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

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

when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.

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

For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

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

My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

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

But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 Padli bodo pod mečem; delež bodo za lisice.

They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

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 shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
