Psalmi 63

1 Psalam. Davidov. Dok David bijaše u Judejskoj pustinji. O Bože, ti si Bog moj: gorljivo tebe tražim; tebe žeđa duša moja, tebe želi tijelo moje, kao zemlja suha, žedna, bezvodna.

O God, you are my God; early will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

2 U Svetištu sam tebe motrio gledajuć' ti moć i slavu.

To see your power and your glory, so as I have seen you in the sanctuary.

3 Ljubav je tvoja bolja od života, moje će te usne slavit'.

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

4 Tako ću te slavit' za života, u tvoje ću ime ruke dizati.

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

5 Duša će mi biti kao sala i mrsa sita, hvalit ću te kliktavim ustima.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips:

6 Na postelji se tebe spominjem, u bdjenjima noćnim mislim na tebe.

When I remember you on my bed, and meditate on you in the night watches.

7 Ti postade meni pomoć, kličem u sjeni krila tvojih.

Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.

8 Duša se moja k tebi privija, desnica me tvoja drži.

My soul follows hard after you: your right hand upholds me.

9 Oni što dušu u propast guraju neka siđu u dubinu zemlje,

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

10 nek' vlasti mača predani budu, nek' postanu plijen šakalima.

They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

11 A kralj će se radovat' u Bogu, slavit će se tko se kune njime, jer će lašcima biti začepljena usta.

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
