< Psalms 3 >
1 [A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.] YHWH, how my adversaries have increased. Many 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 there are who say of my soul, "There is no salvation for him in God." (Selah)
Koliko jih govori za dušo mojo: Ni je pomoči njej v Bogu nobene.
3 But you, YHWH, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
Ti pa, Gospod, ščit si meni, slava moja, in glavo mojo vzdiguješ.
4 I cried out to YHWH with my voice, and he answered me from his holy mountain. (Selah)
Z glasom svojim vpijočemu v Gospoda odgovoril mi je z gore svetosti svoje.
5 I lay down and slept. I awoke, for YHWH sustains me.
Jaz sem ležal in spal, zbudil sem se, ker Gospod me podpira.
6 I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
Ne bodem se bal ljudstva tisočin, katere bodo okrog razpostavili proti meni.
7 Arise, YHWH. Save me, my God. For you slap all my enemies in the face. You break the teeth of the wicked.
Vstani, Gospod; reši me, moj Bog, ki si udaril vse sovražnike moje po čeljusti, zobe zdrobil krivičnim.
8 Salvation belongs to YHWH. Your blessing is upon your people. (Selah)
Gospodovo je rešenje; nad ljudstvom tvojim blagoslov tvoj!
