< 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 his son Absalom. How many, Lord, are my foes! Those who rise up against me are many.
Many are those who say of me, ‘There is no help for him in his 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, Lord, are shield about me, my glory, who lifts up my head.
When loudly I call to the Lord, from his holy hill he gives answer. (Selah)
I laid down and slept: now I wake, for the Lord sustains me.
I fear not the myriads of people who beset me on every side.
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, Lord: save me, my God, who strikes all my foes on the cheek, and shatters the teeth of the wicked.
Victory belongs to the Lord: let your blessing descend on your people. (Selah)
