< 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.
Psalam. Davidov. Kad je David bježao pred sinom Abšalomom. Jahve, koliko je tlačitelja mojih, koliki se podižu na me!
2 Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
Mnogi su što o meni zbore: “Nema mu spasenja u Bogu!”
3 But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
Ti si ipak štit moj, Jahve; slavo moja, ti mi glavu podižeš.
4 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
Iza sveg glasa Jahvi zavapih, i on me usliša sa svete gore svoje.
5 I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
Sad mogu leć' i usnuti, i onda ustat' jer me Jahve drži.
6 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
Ne bojim se tisuća ljudi što me opsjedaju dušmanski.
7 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
Ustani, o Jahve! Spasi me, o Bože moj! Ti udaraš po obrazu sve neprijatelje moje, opakima zube razbijaš.
8 Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
U Jahve je spasenje: na tvom narodu tvoj je blagoslov!
