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.
| מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִ֑ד בְּ֝בָרְחֹ֗ו מִפְּנֵ֤י ׀ אַבְשָׁלֹ֬ום בְּנֹֽו׃ יְ֭הוָה מָֽה־רַבּ֣וּ צָרָ֑י רַ֝בִּ֗ים קָמִ֥ים עָלָֽי׃ |
2 Many say concerning my soul, There is no deliverance for him in his God. (Pause)
| רַבִּים֮ אֹמְרִ֪ים לְנַ֫פְשִׁ֥י אֵ֤ין יְֽשׁוּעָ֓תָה לֹּ֬ו בֵֽאלֹהִ֬ים סֶֽלָה׃ |
3 But thou, O Lord, art my helper: my glory, and the one that lifts up my head.
| וְאַתָּ֣ה יְ֭הוָה מָגֵ֣ן בַּעֲדִ֑י כְּ֝בֹודִ֗י וּמֵרִ֥ים רֹאשִֽׁי׃ |
4 I cried to the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy mountain. (Pause)
| קֹ֭ולִי אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָ֑א וַיַּֽעֲנֵ֨נִי מֵהַ֖ר קָדְשֹׁ֣ו סֶֽלָה׃ |
5 I lay down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord will help me.
| אֲנִ֥י שָׁכַ֗בְתִּי וָֽאִ֫ישָׁ֥נָה הֱקִיצֹ֑ותִי כִּ֖י יְהוָ֣ה יִסְמְכֵֽנִי׃ |
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, who beset me round about.
| לֹֽא־אִ֭ירָא מֵרִבְבֹ֥ות עָ֑ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר סָ֝בִ֗יב שָׁ֣תוּ עָלָֽי׃ |
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.
| ק֘וּמָ֤ה יְהוָ֨ה ׀ הֹושִׁ֘יעֵ֤נִי אֱלֹהַ֗י כִּֽי־הִכִּ֣יתָ אֶת־כָּל־אֹיְבַ֣י לֶ֑חִי שִׁנֵּ֖י רְשָׁעִ֣ים שִׁבַּֽרְתָּ׃ |
8 Deliverance is the Lord's, and thy blessing is upon thy people.
| לַיהוָ֥ה הַיְשׁוּעָ֑ה עַֽל־עַמְּךָ֖ בִרְכָתֶ֣ךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ |
