Psalms 3
1 “A psalm of David, when he fled from before Abshalom his son.” Lord, how numerous are my assailants! how many, 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 say of my soul, There is no help for him with God. (Selah)
Mnogi su što o meni zbore: “Nema mu spasenja u Bogu!”
3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield around me, my glory, and he that lifteth up 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 laid myself down and slept: I awoke; for the Lord sustaineth 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 placed themselves round about against me.
Ne bojim se tisuća ljudi što me opsjedaju dušmanski.
7 Arise, O Lord, help me, O my God; for thou smitest all my enemies upon the cheek bone: the teeth of the wicked dost thou break.
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!
