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 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.

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

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

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.

So I will 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 the richest food. 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 think about you in the night watches.

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

For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

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

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

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

But those who 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 be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

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. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
