Psalms 63

1 O God, you are my God; early will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

Psalm Davidov, ko je bil v puščavi Judovi. O Bog, Bog mogočni si moj, zgodaj te iščem; dušo mojo žeja po tebi; po tebi hrepeni moje meso, v deželi suhi in onemogli brez vodá:

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

Gledati tvojo moč in slavo: tvojo, kakor sem te gledal v svetem kraji.

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

(Ker milost tvoja je boljša od življenja), hvalijo naj te ustne moje.

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

Tako te bodem blagoslavljal v življenji svojem, v imenu tvojem bodem povzdigaval svoje roke.

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips:

Kakor tolšče in masti bode se nasitila duša moja, in z blagoglasnimi ustnami bodo te hvalila usta moja.

6 When I remember you on my bed, and meditate on you in the night watches.

Ko se spomnim tebe na ležišči svojem, čujem in premišljam tebe:

7 Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.

Da si bil velika pomoč meni, tako da sem prepeval v senci tvojih peroti;

8 My soul follows hard after you: your right hand upholds me.

Ko se duša moja tebe drži in gre za teboj, podpira me desnica tvoja.

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

Zatorej bodejo oni, ki iščejo pogubljenja duše moje, prišli v najspodnje kraje zemlje.

10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

Storili bodo, da vsak iz med njih pogine z mečem; lesicam bodejo delež.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Kralj pa sam bode se radoval v Bogu; ponašal se bode, kdorkoli priseza pri njem, ko se bodejo zamašila usta laž govorečim.
