< 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!
A Psalm of David. When he fled from the face of his son, Absalom. Lord, why have those who trouble me been multiplied? Many rise up against me.
Many say to my soul, “There is no salvation for him in his God.” (Pause)
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 you, Lord, are my supporter, my glory, and the one who raises up my head.
I have cried out to the Lord with my voice, and he has heard me from his holy mountain. (Pause)
I have slept, and I have been stupefied. But I awakened because the Lord has taken me up.
I will not fear the thousands of people surrounding me. Rise up, Lord. Save me, my God.
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。
For you have struck all those who oppose me without cause. You have broken the teeth of sinners.
Salvation is of the Lord, and your blessing is upon your people. (Pause)
