< Psalms 3 >
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!
Gospod, kako so se okrepili ti, ki me vznemirjajo! Številni so tisti, ki se vzdigujejo zoper mene.
2 Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. (Selah)
Mnogo jih je, ki pravijo o moji duši: »Zanj ni pomoči pri Bogu.« (Sela)
3 But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; 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 With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. (Selah)
S svojim glasom sem jokal h Gospodu in slišal me je iz svoje svete gore. (Sela)
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
Zleknil sem se in spal, prebudil sem se, kajti Gospod me je podpiral.
6 I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.
Ne bom se bal deset tisočev ljudi, ki so se okrog in okrog usmerili zoper mene.
7 Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
Vstani, oh Gospod, reši me, oh moj Bog. Kajti vse moje sovražnike si udaril po čeljusti, razbil si zobe brezbožnih.
8 Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
Rešitev duše pripada Gospodu. Nad tvojim ljudstvom je tvoj blagoslov. (Sela)
