< 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.
Gospod, kako so se okrepili ti, ki me vznemirjajo! Številni so tisti, ki se vzdigujejo zoper mene.
2 Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
Mnogo jih je, ki pravijo o moji duši: »Zanj ni pomoči pri Bogu.« (Sela)
3 But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.
Toda ti, oh Gospod, si zame ščit, moja slava in tisti, ki mi dviguje mojo glavo.
4 I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah)
S svojim glasom sem jokal h Gospodu in slišal me je iz svoje svete gore. (Sela)
5 I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support.
Zleknil sem se in spal, prebudil sem se, kajti Gospod me je podpiral.
6 I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me.
Ne bom se bal deset tisočev ljudi, ki so se okrog in okrog usmerili zoper mene.
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.
Vstani, oh Gospod, reši me, oh moj Bog. Kajti vse moje sovražnike si udaril po čeljusti, razbil si zobe brezbožnih.
8 Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah)
Rešitev duše pripada Gospodu. Nad tvojim ljudstvom je tvoj blagoslov. (Sela)
