Psalms 3
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from the presence of his son Abessalom. O Lord, why are they that afflict me multiplied? many rise up against me.
【困苦人的祈禱】 達味詩歌，作於逃避其子阿貝沙隆時。 上主，迫害我的人，不可勝數! 攻擊我的人，成群結隊！
2 Many say concerning my soul, There is no deliverance for him in his God. (Pause)
很多人論及我說：天主絕不拯救他！
3 But thou, O Lord, art my helper: my glory, and the one that lifts up my head.
但是你，上主，是圍護我的盾牌，是我的榮耀，常使我首昂頭抬。
4 I cried to the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy mountain. (Pause)
我一向上主大聲呼號，祂便從聖山上俯聽我。
5 I lay down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord will help me.
我躺下安睡，我又醒了，因為上主常扶持著我。
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, who beset me round about.
雖有千萬人，向我圍攻，我一絲一毫也不驚恐。
7 Arise, Lord; deliver me, my God: for thou hast smitten all who were without cause mine enemies; thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
上主，請你興起奮發；我的天主，求你救拔，因為你擊破了我仇敵的腮頰，你打破眾惡人的門牙。
8 Deliverance is the Lord's, and thy blessing is upon thy people.
救援之恩完全屬於上主；願你的百姓受你的祝福！
