Psalms 63

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to thee early; my soul has thirsted for thee: how often has my flesh [longed] after thee, in a barren and trackless and dry land!

Bože! ti si Bog moj, k tebi ranim, žedna je tebe duša moja, za tobom èezne tijelo moje u zemlji suhoj, žednoj i bezvodnoj.

2 Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary, that I might see thy power and thy glory.

Tako bih te ugledao u svetinji, da bih vidio silu tvoju i slavu tvoju.

3 For thy mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.

Jer je dobrota tvoja bolja od života. Usta bi moja hvalila tebe;

4 Thus will I bless thee during my life: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

Tako bih te blagosiljao za života svoga, u ime tvoje podigao bih ruke svoje.

5 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise thy name.

Kao salom i uljem nasitila bi se duša moja, i radosnijem glasom hvalila bi te usta moja.

6 Forasmuch as I have remembered thee on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on thee.

Kad te se sjeæam na postelji, sve noæne straže razmišljam o tebi.

7 For thou hast been my helper, and in the shelter of thy wings will I rejoice.

Jer si ti pomoæ moja, i u sjenu krila tvojih veselim se.

8 My soul has kept very close behind thee: thy right hand has upheld me.

Duša se moja prilijepila za tebe, desnica tvoja drži me.

9 But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.

Koji traže pogibao duši mojoj, oni æe otiæi pod zemlju.

10 They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.

Izginuæe od maèa, i dopašæe lisicama.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.

A car æe se veseliti o Bogu, hvaliæe se svaki koji se kune njim, kad se zatisnu usta onima koji govore laž.
