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！
The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom. Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
2 很多人論及我說：天主絕不拯救他！
Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
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 Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 我一向上主大聲呼號，祂便從聖山上俯聽我。
I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
5 我躺下安睡，我又醒了，因為上主常扶持著我。
I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
6 雖有千萬人，向我圍攻，我一絲一毫也不驚恐。
I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O 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 thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
8 救援之恩完全屬於上主；願你的百姓受你的祝福！
Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
