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.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.

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

So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory.

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

For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise Thee.

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

So will I bless Thee as long as I live; in Thy name will I lift up my hands.

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

My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;

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

When I remember Thee upon my couch, and meditate on Thee in the night-watches.

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

For Thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice.

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

My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast.

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 nethermost parts of the earth.

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

They shall be hurled to the power of 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 sweareth by Him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
