Salme 3
1 (En Salme af David, da han flygtede for sin søn Absalom.) HERRE, hvor er mine Fjender mange! Mange er de, som rejser sig mod mig,
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 mange, som siger om min Sjæl: "Der er ingen Frelse for ham hos Gud!" (Sela)
Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' (Selah)
3 Men, HERRE, du er et Skjold for mig, min Ære og den, der løfter mit Hoved.
But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Jeg råber højlydt til HERREN, han svarer mig fra sit hellige Bjerg. (Sela)
With my voice I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. (Selah)
5 Jeg lagde mig og sov ind, jeg vågned, thi HERREN holder mig oppe.
I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
6 Jeg frygter ikke Titusinder af Folk, som trindt om lejrer sig mod mig.
I am not afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Rejs dig, HERRE, frels mig, min Gud, thi alle mine Fjender slog du på Kind, du brød de gudløses Tænder!
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 Hos HERREN er Frelsen; din Velsignelse over dit Folk! (Sela)
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. (Selah)
