< 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!
Psalm Davidov, ko je bežal pred Absalomom, sinom svojim. Gospod, koliko je sovražnikov mojih, koliko jih vstaja proti meni!
2 Many say of my soul, There is no help for him with God. (Selah)
Koliko jih govori za dušo mojo: Ni je pomoči njej v Bogu nobene.
3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield around me, my glory, and he that lifteth up my head.
Ti pa, Gospod, ščit si meni, slava moja, in glavo mojo vzdiguješ.
4 With my voice I call unto the Lord, and he answereth me out of his holy mountain. (Selah)
Z glasom svojim vpijočemu v Gospoda odgovoril mi je z gore svetosti svoje.
5 I laid myself down and slept: I awoke; for the Lord sustaineth me.
Jaz sem ležal in spal, zbudil sem se, ker Gospod me podpira.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have placed themselves round about against me.
Ne bodem se bal ljudstva tisočin, katere bodo okrog razpostavili proti meni.
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.
Vstani, Gospod; reši me, moj Bog, ki si udaril vse sovražnike moje po čeljusti, zobe zdrobil krivičnim.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
Gospodovo je rešenje; nad ljudstvom tvojim blagoslov tvoj!
