< 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?
Psalm Davidov, ko je bežal pred Absalomom, sinom svojim. Gospod, koliko je sovražnikov mojih, koliko jih vstaja proti meni!
2 Many say to my soule, There is no helpe for him in God. (Selah)
Koliko jih govori za dušo mojo: Ni je pomoči njej v Bogu nobene.
3 But thou Lord art a buckler for me: my glory, and the lifter vp of mine head.
Ti pa, Gospod, ščit si meni, slava moja, in glavo mojo vzdiguješ.
4 I did call vnto the Lord with my voyce, and he heard me out of his holy mountaine. (Selah)
Z glasom svojim vpijočemu v Gospoda odgovoril mi je z gore svetosti svoje.
5 I layed me downe and slept, and rose vp againe: for the Lord susteined me.
Jaz sem ležal in spal, zbudil sem se, ker Gospod me podpira.
6 I will not be afrayde for ten thousand of the people, that should beset me round about.
Ne bodem se bal ljudstva tisočin, katere bodo okrog razpostavili proti meni.
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, Gospod; reši me, moj Bog, ki si udaril vse sovražnike moje po čeljusti, zobe zdrobil krivičnim.
8 Saluation belongeth vnto the Lord, and thy blessing is vpon thy people. (Selah)
Gospodovo je rešenje; nad ljudstvom tvojim blagoslov tvoj!
