< 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!
Psalm Davidov, ko je bežal pred Absalomom, sinom svojim. Gospod, koliko je sovražnikov mojih, koliko jih vstaja proti meni!
2 Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.”
Koliko jih govori za dušo mojo: Ni je pomoči njej v Bogu nobene.
3 But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
Ti pa, Gospod, ščit si meni, slava moja, in glavo mojo vzdiguješ.
4 To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain.
Z glasom svojim vpijočemu v Gospoda odgovoril mi je z gore svetosti svoje.
5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
Jaz sem ležal in spal, zbudil sem se, ker Gospod me podpira.
6 I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.
Ne bodem se bal ljudstva tisočin, katere bodo okrog razpostavili proti meni.
7 Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
Vstani, Gospod; reši me, moj Bog, ki si udaril vse sovražnike moje po čeljusti, zobe zdrobil krivičnim.
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people.
Gospodovo je rešenje; nad ljudstvom tvojim blagoslov tvoj!
