Psalm 63
New King James Version
Joy in the Fellowship of God
A Psalm of David (A)when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
63 O God, You are my God;
Early will I seek You;
(B)My soul thirsts for You;
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water.
2 So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
To see (C)Your power and Your glory.
3 (D)Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
4 Thus I will bless You while I live;
I will (E)lift up my hands in Your name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with [a]marrow and [b]fatness,
And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
6 When (F)I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches.
7 Because You have been my help,
Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
8 My soul follows close behind You;
Your right hand upholds me.
9 But those who seek my life, to destroy it,
Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall [c]fall by the sword;
They shall be [d]a portion for jackals.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God;
(G)Everyone who swears by Him shall glory;
But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

Psalm 63
King James Version
63 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
Psalmi 63
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
Čežnja za Bogom
Davidova pjesma, napisana kada je bio u judejskoj pustinji.
63 Bože, ti si Bog moj,
tebe tražim.
Za tobom čeznem,
čitavim bićem za tobom žudim,
u zemlji suhoj, iscrpljenoj i bezvodnoj.
2 U Hramu[a] sam tebe vidio,
tvoju snagu i slavu promatrao.
3 Da, tvoja je ljubav bolja od života,
moje će te usne slaviti.
4 Blagoslivljat ću te dok sam živ,
dizat ću ruke u molitvi, tvoje ime prizivati.
5 Duša mi je sita k'o od jela najboljega,
radosno te hvalim svojim usnama.
6 Na tebe mislim na svom ležaju,
o tebi razmišljam u noćnim satima.
7 Jer, ti si onaj koji mi pomaže,
kličem pod tvojim krilima.
8 Duša mi se k tebi privija,
tvoja me snažna ruka pridržava.
9 A oni koji mi žele uzeti život,
otići će duboko u podzemlje.
10 Maču će biti predani,
plijen šakala će postati.
11 A kralj će se radovati
zbog Božjih djela.
Ponosit će se svi koji se u Boga pouzdaju[b],
a usta lažljivaca bit će začepljena.
