< Psalms 3 >

1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. O LORD, how my foes have increased! How many rise up against me!
Psalam. Davidov. Kad je David bježao pred sinom Abšalomom. Jahve, koliko je tlačitelja mojih, koliki se podižu na me!
2 Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.”
Mnogi su što o meni zbore: “Nema mu spasenja u Bogu!”
3 But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
Ti si ipak štit moj, Jahve; slavo moja, ti mi glavu podižeš.
4 To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain.
Iza sveg glasa Jahvi zavapih, i on me usliša sa svete gore svoje.
5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
Sad mogu leć' i usnuti, i onda ustat' jer me Jahve drži.
6 I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.
Ne bojim se tisuća ljudi što me opsjedaju dušmanski.
7 Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
Ustani, o Jahve! Spasi me, o Bože moj! Ti udaraš po obrazu sve neprijatelje moje, opakima zube razbijaš.
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people.
U Jahve je spasenje: na tvom narodu tvoj je blagoslov!
