< Psalmi 3 >
1 Psalam. Davidov. Kad je David bježao pred sinom Abšalomom. Jahve, koliko je tlačitelja mojih, koliki se podižu na me!
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!
2 Mnogi su što o meni zbore: “Nema mu spasenja u Bogu!”
Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. (Selah)
3 Ti si ipak štit moj, Jahve; slavo moja, ti mi glavu podižeš.
But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Iza sveg glasa Jahvi zavapih, i on me usliša sa svete gore svoje.
With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. (Selah)
5 Sad mogu leć' i usnuti, i onda ustat' jer me Jahve drži.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
6 Ne bojim se tisuća ljudi što me opsjedaju dušmanski.
I will not fear for myriads of the people that 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, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 U Jahve je spasenje: na tvom narodu tvoj je blagoslov!
Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
