Psalms 63

1 A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah. God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

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 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

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

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

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

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

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

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

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

6 when I remember you on my bed, and think about 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 will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

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

8 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

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

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

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

10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

Izginuæe od maèa, i dopašæe lisicama.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.

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