< 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. LORD, how many are mine adversaries become! Many are they that rise up against me.
2 Mnogi su što o meni zbore: “Nema mu spasenja u Bogu!”
Many there are that 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, O LORD, 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 I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. (Selah)
5 Sad mogu leć' i usnuti, i onda ustat' jer me Jahve drži.
I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
6 Ne bojim se tisuća ljudi što me opsjedaju dušmanski.
I am not afraid of ten thousands of 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, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 U Jahve je spasenje: na tvom narodu tvoj je blagoslov!
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. (Selah)
