< Psalmi 3 >
1 Psalam. Davidov. Kad je David bježao pred sinom Abšalomom. Jahve, koliko je tlačitelja mojih, koliki se podižu na me!
LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Mnogi su što o meni zbore: “Nema mu spasenja u Bogu!”
Many there be which 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 Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 Iza sveg glasa Jahvi zavapih, i on me usliša sa svete gore svoje.
I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Sad mogu leć' i usnuti, i onda ustat' jer me Jahve drži.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
6 Ne bojim se tisuća ljudi što me opsjedaju dušmanski.
I will not be 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 bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 U Jahve je spasenje: na tvom narodu tvoj je blagoslov!
Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
