< Psalms 3 >

1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how many are mine adversaries become! Many are they that rise up against me.
Psalam. Davidov. Kad je David bježao pred sinom Abšalomom. Jahve, koliko je tlačitelja mojih, koliki se podižu na me!
2 Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' (Selah)
Mnogi su što o meni zbore: “Nema mu spasenja u Bogu!”
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
Ti si ipak štit moj, Jahve; slavo moja, ti mi glavu podižeš.
4 With my voice I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. (Selah)
Iza sveg glasa Jahvi zavapih, i on me usliša sa svete gore svoje.
5 I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
Sad mogu leć' i usnuti, i onda ustat' jer me Jahve drži.
6 I am not afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
Ne bojim se tisuća ljudi što me opsjedaju dušmanski.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
Ustani, o Jahve! Spasi me, o Bože moj! Ti udaraš po obrazu sve neprijatelje moje, opakima zube razbijaš.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. (Selah)
U Jahve je spasenje: na tvom narodu tvoj je blagoslov!
