< Psalms 3 >
1 A Psalme of Dauid, when he fled from his sonne Absalom. Lord, howe are mine aduersaries increased? howe many rise against me?
Gospod, kako so se okrepili ti, ki me vznemirjajo! Številni so tisti, ki se vzdigujejo zoper mene.
2 Many say to my soule, There is no helpe for him in God. (Selah)
Mnogo jih je, ki pravijo o moji duši: »Zanj ni pomoči pri Bogu.« (Sela)
3 But thou Lord art a buckler for me: my glory, and the lifter vp of mine head.
Toda ti, oh Gospod, si zame ščit, moja slava in tisti, ki mi dviguje mojo glavo.
4 I did call vnto the Lord with my voyce, and he heard me out of his holy mountaine. (Selah)
S svojim glasom sem jokal h Gospodu in slišal me je iz svoje svete gore. (Sela)
5 I layed me downe and slept, and rose vp againe: for the Lord susteined me.
Zleknil sem se in spal, prebudil sem se, kajti Gospod me je podpiral.
6 I will not be afrayde for ten thousand of the people, that should beset me round about.
Ne bom se bal deset tisočev ljudi, ki so se okrog in okrog usmerili zoper mene.
7 O Lord, arise: helpe me, my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies vpon the cheeke bone: thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
Vstani, oh Gospod, reši me, oh moj Bog. Kajti vse moje sovražnike si udaril po čeljusti, razbil si zobe brezbožnih.
8 Saluation belongeth vnto the Lord, and thy blessing is vpon thy people. (Selah)
Rešitev duše pripada Gospodu. Nad tvojim ljudstvom je tvoj blagoslov. (Sela)
