Psalms 3
1 A PSALM OF DAVID, IN HIS FLEEING FROM THE FACE OF HIS SON ABSALOM. YHWH, how my distresses have multiplied! Many are rising up against me.
| מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד בְּבָרְחוֹ מִפְּנֵי ׀ אַבְשָׁלוֹם בְּנֽוֹ׃ יְהוָה מָֽה־רַבּוּ צָרָי רַבִּים קָמִים עָלָֽי׃ |
2 Many are saying of my soul, “There is no salvation for him in God.” (Selah)
| רַבִּים אֹמְרִים לְנַפְשִׁי אֵין יְֽשׁוּעָתָה לּוֹ בֵֽאלֹהִים סֶֽלָה׃ |
3 And You, O YHWH, [are] a shield for me, My glory, and lifter up of my head.
| וְאַתָּה יְהוָה מָגֵן בַּעֲדִי כְּבוֹדִי וּמֵרִים רֹאשִֽׁי׃ |
4 My voice [is] to YHWH: I call and He answers me from His holy hill, (Selah)
| קוֹלִי אֶל־יְהוָה אֶקְרָא וַיַּֽעֲנֵנִי מֵהַר קָדְשׁוֹ סֶֽלָה׃ |
5 I have lain down, and I sleep, I have awoken, for YHWH sustains me.
| אֲנִי שָׁכַבְתִּי וָֽאִישָׁנָה הֱקִיצוֹתִי כִּי יְהוָה יִסְמְכֵֽנִי׃ |
6 I am not afraid of myriads of people, That they have set against me all around.
| לֹֽא־אִירָא מֵרִבְבוֹת עָם אֲשֶׁר סָבִיב שָׁתוּ עָלָֽי׃ |
7 Rise, O YHWH! Save me, my God! For You have struck all my enemies [on] the cheek. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
| קוּמָה יְהוָה ׀ הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי אֱלֹהַי כִּֽי־הִכִּיתָ אֶת־כָּל־אֹיְבַי לֶחִי שִׁנֵּי רְשָׁעִים שִׁבַּֽרְתָּ׃ |
8 This salvation [is] of YHWH; Your blessing [is] on Your people! (Selah)
| לַיהוָה הַיְשׁוּעָה עַֽל־עַמְּךָ בִרְכָתֶךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ |
