Psalms 63

1 A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, my God, you, you do I seek: my heart thirsts for you, my body faints for you in a parched and waterless 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 As I in the temple have seen you, beholding your power and your glory,

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

3 for better than life is your kindness: my lips shall utter your praise.

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

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

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

5 As with marrow and fat am I feasted; with joyful lips I will praise you.

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

6 I call you to mind on my bed, and muse on you in the night watches;

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

7 for you have been my help, I joyfully sing in the shadow of your wings.

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

8 I cling close after you, your right hand holds me up.

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

9 But those who seek after my life shall go down to the depths of the earth,

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

10 given o’er to the power of the sword, or as prey for jackals to devour.

Izginuæe od maèa, i dopašæe lisicama.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God: all who own his allegiance will glory. For the mouth of the false shall be stopped.

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