< 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.
Gospod, kako so se okrepili ti, ki me vznemirjajo! Številni so tisti, ki se vzdigujejo zoper mene.
2 Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
Mnogo jih je, ki pravijo o moji duši: »Zanj ni pomoči pri Bogu.« (Sela)
3 But thou, O Lord art my protector, 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 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
S svojim glasom sem jokal h Gospodu in slišal me je iz svoje svete gore. (Sela)
5 I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
Zleknil sem se in spal, prebudil sem se, kajti Gospod me je podpiral.
6 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
Ne bom se bal deset tisočev ljudi, ki so se okrog in okrog usmerili zoper mene.
7 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
Vstani, oh Gospod, reši me, oh moj Bog. Kajti vse moje sovražnike si udaril po čeljusti, razbil si zobe brezbožnih.
8 Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
Rešitev duše pripada Gospodu. Nad tvojim ljudstvom je tvoj blagoslov. (Sela)
