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 Melody of David, when he fled from before Absolom his son. Yahweh! how have mine adversaries multiplied, Multitudes, are rising against me;
2 很多人論及我說：天主絕不拯救他！
Multitudes, are saying of my soul, —No salvation 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, Yahweh, art a shield about me, 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。
With my voice—unto Yahweh, do I cry, and he hath answered me out of his holy mountain. (Selah)
5 我躺下安睡，我又醒了，因為上主常扶持著我。
I, laid me down and slept, —I awoke, Surely, Yahweh, sustaineth me!
6 雖有千萬人，向我圍攻，我一絲一毫也不驚恐。
I will not be afraid of myriads of people, who, round about, have set themselves against me.
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。
Rise! Yahweh, Save me, my God. Surely thou hast smitten all my foes on the cheekbone, The teeth of the lawless, hast thou broken.
8 救援之恩完全屬於上主；願你的百姓受你的祝福！
To Yahweh, belongeth Salvation! Upon thy people, be thy blessing. (Selah)
