< Psalms 3 >
1 A Psalm. Of David. When he went in flight from Absalom his son. Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me.
Psalam. Davidov. Kad je David bježao pred sinom Abšalomom. Jahve, koliko je tlačitelja mojih, koliki se podižu na me!
2 Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
Mnogi su što o meni zbore: “Nema mu spasenja u Bogu!”
3 But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.
Ti si ipak štit moj, Jahve; slavo moja, ti mi glavu podižeš.
4 I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah)
Iza sveg glasa Jahvi zavapih, i on me usliša sa svete gore svoje.
5 I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support.
Sad mogu leć' i usnuti, i onda ustat' jer me Jahve drži.
6 I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me.
Ne bojim se tisuća ljudi što me opsjedaju dušmanski.
7 Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you.
Ustani, o Jahve! Spasi me, o Bože moj! Ti udaraš po obrazu sve neprijatelje moje, opakima zube razbijaš.
8 Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah)
U Jahve je spasenje: na tvom narodu tvoj je blagoslov!
