< 詩篇 3 >
1 【困苦人的祈禱】 達味詩歌,作於逃避其子阿貝沙隆時。 上主,迫害我的人,不可勝數! 攻擊我的人,成群結隊!
Jehovah, how my adversaries are increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
Many there are who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
3 但是你,上主,是圍護我的盾牌,是我的榮耀,常使我首昂頭抬。
But thou, O Jehovah, are a shield about me, my glory and he who lifts up of my head.
I cry to Jehovah with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
I laid down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people who have set themselves against me round about.
7 上主,請你興起奮發;我的天主,求你救拔,因為你擊破了我仇敵的腮頰,你打破眾惡人的門牙。
Arise, O Jehovah. Save me, O my God. For thou have smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone. Thou have broken the teeth of the wicked.
Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
