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 before Abshalom his son.” Lord, how numerous are my assailants! how many, 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 help for him with God. (Selah)
3 Ti si ipak štit moj, Jahve; slavo moja, ti mi glavu podižeš.
But thou, O Lord, art a shield around me, my glory, and he that lifteth up 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 laid myself down and slept: I awoke; for the Lord sustaineth me.
6 Ne bojim se tisuća ljudi što me opsjedaju dušmanski.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have placed themselves round about against me.
7 Ustani, o Jahve! Spasi me, o Bože moj! Ti udaraš po obrazu sve neprijatelje moje, opakima zube razbijaš.
Arise, O Lord, help me, O my God; for thou smitest all my enemies upon the cheek bone: the teeth of the wicked dost thou break.
8 U Jahve je spasenje: na tvom narodu tvoj je blagoslov!
Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
