< Psalms 3 >

1 The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom. Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ حِينَمَا هَرَبَ مِنْ وَجْهِ أَبْشَالُومَ ٱبْنِهِ يَارَبُّ، مَا أَكْثَرَ مُضَايِقِيَّ! كَثِيرُونَ قَائِمُونَ عَلَيَّ.١
2 Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
كَثِيرُونَ يَقُولُونَ لِنَفْسِي: «لَيْسَ لَهُ خَلَاصٌ بِإِلَهِهِ». سِلَاهْ.٢
3 But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَتُرْسٌ لِي. مَجْدِي وَرَافِعُ رَأْسِي.٣
4 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
بِصَوْتِي إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ أَصْرُخُ، فَيُجِيبُنِي مِنْ جَبَلِ قُدْسِهِ. سِلَاهْ.٤
5 I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
أَنَا ٱضْطَجَعْتُ وَنِمْتُ. ٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَعْضُدُنِي.٥
6 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
لَا أَخَافُ مِنْ رِبْوَاتِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلْمُصْطَفِّينَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ حَوْلِي.٦
7 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
قُمْ يَارَبُّ! خَلِّصْنِي يَا إِلَهِي! لِأَنَّكَ ضَرَبْتَ كُلَّ أَعْدَائِي عَلَى ٱلْفَكِّ. هَشَّمْتَ أَسْنَانَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ.٧
8 Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْخَلَاصُ عَلَى شَعْبِكَ بَرَكَتُكَ. سِلَاهْ.٨
