Psalms 3
1 A psalm of David concerning the time he had to flee from his son Absalom. Lord, my enemies have become so many; so many are rebelling against me.
| מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד בְּבָרְחוֹ מִפְּנֵי ׀ אַבְשָׁלוֹם בְּנֽוֹ׃ יְהוָה מָֽה־רַבּוּ צָרָי רַבִּים קָמִים עָלָֽי׃ |
2 So many are telling me, “God can't save you!” (Selah)
| רַבִּים אֹמְרִים לְנַפְשִׁי אֵין יְֽשׁוּעָתָה לּוֹ בֵֽאלֹהִים סֶֽלָה׃ |
3 But you, Lord, are a shield protecting me. You give me victory; you hold my head high.
| וְאַתָּה יְהוָה מָגֵן בַּעֲדִי כְּבוֹדִי וּמֵרִים רֹאשִֽׁי׃ |
4 I cry out to the Lord for help, and he answers me from his holy mountain. (Selah)
| קוֹלִי אֶל־יְהוָה אֶקְרָא וַיַּֽעֲנֵנִי מֵהַר קָדְשׁוֹ סֶֽלָה׃ |
5 I lie down to sleep, and in the morning I wake up because the Lord takes care of me.
| אֲנִי שָׁכַבְתִּי וָֽאִישָׁנָה הֱקִיצוֹתִי כִּי יְהוָה יִסְמְכֵֽנִי׃ |
6 I'm not afraid of tens of thousands who surround me, people who are against me.
| לֹֽא־אִירָא מֵרִבְבוֹת עָם אֲשֶׁר סָבִיב שָׁתוּ עָלָֽי׃ |
7 Stand up for me, Lord! Save me, my God! Hit all my enemies on the cheek; break the teeth of the wicked!
| קוּמָה יְהוָה ׀ הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי אֱלֹהַי כִּֽי־הִכִּיתָ אֶת־כָּל־אֹיְבַי לֶחִי שִׁנֵּי רְשָׁעִים שִׁבַּֽרְתָּ׃ |
8 Salvation belongs to you, Lord; may you be a blessing to your people. (Selah)
| לַיהוָה הַיְשׁוּעָה עַֽל־עַמְּךָ בִרְכָתֶךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ |
