Psalms 63

1 A Psalm. Of David. When he was in the waste land of Judah. O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;

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.

2 To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place.

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

3 Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise.

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

4 So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name.

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

5 My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;

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

6 When the memory of you comes to me on my bed, and when I give thought to you in the night-time.

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

7 Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings.

Ti postade meni pomoć, kličem u sjeni krila tvojih.

8 My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.

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

9 But those whose desire is my soul's destruction will go down to the lower parts of the earth.

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

10 They will be cut off by the sword; they will be food for foxes.

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

11 But the king will have joy in God; everyone who takes an oath by him will have cause for pride; but the false mouth will be stopped.

A kralj će se radovat' u Bogu, slavit će se tko se kune njime, jer će lašcima biti začepljena usta.
