< 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.
[Psalm lal David, ke el Kaingkunul Absalom, Wen natul] O LEUM GOD, puslana mwet lokoalok luk, Pusenina mwet tuyak lainyu!
2 Many are saying of my soul, “There is no salvation for him in God.” (Selah)
Elos kaskas keik ac fahk, “God El ac tia kasrel.”
3 And You, O YHWH, [are] a shield for me, My glory, and lifter up of my head.
Tusruktu, O LEUM GOD, kom mwe loang luk liki ongoiya in pacl e nukewa. Kom ase nu sik kutangla, Ac akpulaikyeyu.
4 My voice [is] to YHWH: I call and He answers me from His holy hill, (Selah)
Nga pang nu sin LEUM GOD tuh elan kasreyu, Ac El topukyu liki eol mutal sel.
5 I have lain down, and I sleep, I have awoken, for YHWH sustains me.
Nga ona ac motulla, Ac LEUM GOD El karinginyu nwe ke nga ngutalik.
6 I am not afraid of myriads of people, That they have set against me all around.
Nga tia sangeng sin tausin mwet lokoalok Su rauniyula yen nukewa.
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.
Fahsru, LEUM GOD! Moliyula, God luk! Kom kai mwet lokoalok luk nukewa Ac akmunasyalos, na wangin ku lalos in aklokoalokyeyu.
8 This salvation [is] of YHWH; Your blessing [is] on Your people! (Selah)
Kutangla tuku sin LEUM GOD— Lela tuh Elan akinsewowoye mwet lal.
