< 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!
Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
Many there be which 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 you, O LORD, are a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
I cried to the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that 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 LORD; save me, O my God: for you have smitten all my enemies on the cheek bone; you have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
Salvation belongs to the LORD: your blessing is on your people. (Selah)
