< Psalms 3 >
1 A psalm of David when fled he from before - Absalom son his. O Yahweh how! they are many opponents my many [people] [are] rising up on me.
The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom. Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
2 Many [people] [are] saying of self my there not [is] deliverance for him in God (Selah)
Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
3 And you O Yahweh [are] a shield behind me honor my and [the one who] lifts up head my.
But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Voice my to Yahweh I called out and he answered me from [the] mountain of holiness his (Selah)
I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
5 I I lay down and I slept! I awoke for Yahweh he sustains me.
I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
6 Not I will be afraid from ten thousands of people who all around they have taken a stand on me.
I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
7 Arise! O Yahweh - save me O God my for you have struck all enemies my jaw [the] teeth of wicked [people] you have broken.
For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
8 [belongs] to Yahweh deliverance [is] towards people your blessing your (Selah)
Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
