< Psalmi 3 >
1 Psalam. Davidov. Kad je David bježao pred sinom Abšalomom. Jahve, koliko je tlačitelja mojih, koliki se podižu na me!
The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom. Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
2 Mnogi su što o meni zbore: “Nema mu spasenja u Bogu!”
Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
3 Ti si ipak štit moj, Jahve; slavo moja, ti mi glavu podižeš.
But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Iza sveg glasa Jahvi zavapih, i on me usliša sa svete gore svoje.
I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
5 Sad mogu leć' i usnuti, i onda ustat' jer me Jahve drži.
I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
6 Ne bojim se tisuća ljudi što me opsjedaju dušmanski.
I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
7 Ustani, o Jahve! Spasi me, o Bože moj! Ti udaraš po obrazu sve neprijatelje moje, opakima zube razbijaš.
For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
8 U Jahve je spasenje: na tvom narodu tvoj je blagoslov!
Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
