< 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.
psalmus David cum fugeret a facie Abessalon filii sui Domine quid multiplicati sunt qui tribulant me multi insurgunt adversum me
2 So many are telling me, “God can't save you!” (Selah)
multi dicunt animae meae non est salus ipsi in Deo eius diapsalma
3 But you, Lord, are a shield protecting me. You give me victory; you hold my head high.
tu autem Domine susceptor meus es gloria mea et exaltans caput meum
4 I cry out to the Lord for help, and he answers me from his holy mountain. (Selah)
voce mea ad Dominum clamavi et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo diapsalma
5 I lie down to sleep, and in the morning I wake up because the Lord takes care of me.
ego dormivi et soporatus sum exsurrexi quia Dominus suscipiet me
6 I'm not afraid of tens of thousands who surround me, people who are against me.
non timebo milia populi circumdantis me exsurge Domine salvum me fac Deus meus
7 Stand up for me, Lord! Save me, my God! Hit all my enemies on the cheek; break the teeth of the wicked!
quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa dentes peccatorum contrivisti
8 Salvation belongs to you, Lord; may you be a blessing to your people. (Selah)
Domini est salus et super populum tuum benedictio tua
