< 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 Absalom his son. 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 thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
I cried unto 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 thou hast smitten all mine enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
Salvation [belongeth] unto the LORD: thy blessing [is] upon thy people. (Selah)
