< 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.
Adonai, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Many [people] [are] saying of self my there not [is] deliverance for him in God (Selah)
Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no yishu'ah ·salvation· for him in God.” (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
3 And you O Yahweh [are] a shield behind me honor my and [the one who] lifts up head my.
But you, Adonai, are a shield around me, my kavod ·weighty glory·, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 Voice my to Yahweh I called out and he answered me from [the] mountain of holiness his (Selah)
I cry to Adonai with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
5 I I lay down and I slept! I awoke for Yahweh he sustains me.
I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Adonai sustains 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 be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
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.
Arise, Adonai! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 [belongs] to Yahweh deliverance [is] towards people your blessing your (Selah)
Yishu'ah ·Salvation· belongs to Adonai. Your blessing be on your people. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
