< Psalms 3 >

1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! 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 be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help for him in God. (Selah)
Mnogi su što o meni zbore: “Nema mu spasenja u Bogu!”
3 But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
Ti si ipak štit moj, Jahve; slavo moja, ti mi glavu podižeš.
4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
Iza sveg glasa Jahvi zavapih, i on me usliša sa svete gore svoje.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
Sad mogu leć' i usnuti, i onda ustat' jer me Jahve drži.
6 I will not be 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 bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
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 [is] upon thy people. (Selah)
U Jahve je spasenje: na tvom narodu tvoj je blagoslov!
