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.
【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 to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
很多人論及我說：天主絕不拯救他！
3 But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of 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 have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
我一向上主大聲呼號，祂便從聖山上俯聽我。
5 I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
我躺下安睡，我又醒了，因為上主常扶持著我。
6 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
雖有千萬人，向我圍攻，我一絲一毫也不驚恐。
7 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: 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 Salvation is of the Lord: 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！
