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 Melody of David. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, my GOD, thou art, Earnestly do I desire thee, —My soul thirsteth for thee, My flesh fainteth for thee, In a land—dry, and weary for want of water, —
2 da bi videl tvojo oblast in tvojo slavo, tako kot sem te videl v svetišču.
In like manner as, in the sanctuary, I have had vision of thee, To behold thy power and thy glory.
3 Ker je tvoja ljubeča skrbnost boljša kot življenje, te bodo moje ustnice hvalile.
Because better is thy lovingkindness than life, My lips, aloud shall praise thee!
4 Tako te bom blagoslavljal, medtem ko živim, svoje roke bom vzdigoval v tvojem imenu.
Thus, will I bless thee while I live, In thy Name, will I lift up mine outspread hands:
5 Moja duša bo nasičena kakor z mozgom in tolščo in moja usta te bodo hvalila z radostnimi ustnicami,
As with fatness and richness, shall my soul be satisfied, And, with joyfully shouting lips, shall my mouth utter praise.
6 ko se te spominjam na svoji postelji in o tebi premišljujem v nočnih stražah.
Should I call thee to mind upon my couch, In the watches of the night, would I breathe soft speech of thee.
7 Ker si bil ti moja pomoč, zato se bom veselil v senci tvojih peruti.
For thou hast become a help unto me, —And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I shout for joy.
8 Moja duša trdno sledi tebi; tvoja desnica me podpira.
My soul hath run clinging to thee, On me, hath thy right hand laid hold.
9 Toda tisti, ki iščejo mojo dušo, da bi jo uničili, bodo šli v globočine zemlje.
When, they, to crush it, would seek my life, They shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
10 Padli bodo pod mečem; delež bodo za lisice.
Every one shall be given up into the power of the sword, The portion of jackals, shall they become.
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 shall glory who sweareth by him, For the mouth of them who speak falsehood, shall be stopped.
