< Psalmi 3 >
1 Psalam. Davidov. Kad je David bježao pred sinom Abšalomom. Jahve, koliko je tlačitelja mojih, koliki se podižu na me!
Jehovah, how my adversaries are increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Mnogi su što o meni zbore: “Nema mu spasenja u Bogu!”
Many there are who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
3 Ti si ipak štit moj, Jahve; slavo moja, ti mi glavu podižeš.
But thou, O Jehovah, are a shield about me, my glory and he who lifts up of my head.
4 Iza sveg glasa Jahvi zavapih, i on me usliša sa svete gore svoje.
I cry to Jehovah with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Sad mogu leć' i usnuti, i onda ustat' jer me Jahve drži.
I laid down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.
6 Ne bojim se tisuća ljudi što me opsjedaju dušmanski.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people who have set themselves against me round about.
7 Ustani, o Jahve! Spasi me, o Bože moj! Ti udaraš po obrazu sve neprijatelje moje, opakima zube razbijaš.
Arise, O Jehovah. Save me, O my God. For thou have smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone. Thou have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 U Jahve je spasenje: na tvom narodu tvoj je blagoslov!
Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
