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 wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.

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

So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, to see thy power and thy glory.

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

For thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise thee.

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

So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy 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 marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips;

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

When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the night watches.

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

For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

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

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

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

But those that 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 a portion for foxes.

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: every one that sweareth by him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
