< Psalms 3 >
1 A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
psalmus David cum fugeret a facie Abessalon filii sui Domine quid multiplicati sunt qui tribulant me multi insurgunt adversum me
2 Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” (Selah)
multi dicunt animae meae non est salus ipsi in Deo eius diapsalma
3 But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
tu autem Domine susceptor meus es gloria mea et exaltans caput meum
4 I cry to the LORD with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
voce mea ad Dominum clamavi et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo diapsalma
5 I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for the LORD sustains me.
ego dormivi et soporatus sum exsurrexi quia Dominus suscipiet me
6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
non timebo milia populi circumdantis me exsurge Domine salvum me fac Deus meus
7 Arise, LORD! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa dentes peccatorum contrivisti
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD. May your blessing be on your people. (Selah)
Domini est salus et super populum tuum benedictio tua
