Psalms 3
1 Yahweh, I have many enemies [DOU]! There are many people who oppose/rebel against me.
| مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ حِينَمَا هَرَبَ مِنْ وَجْهِ أَبْشَالُومَ ٱبْنِهِ يَارَبُّ، مَا أَكْثَرَ مُضَايِقِيَّ! كَثِيرُونَ قَائِمُونَ عَلَيَّ. | ١ |
2 Many people are saying about me, “God will [certainly] not help him!”
| كَثِيرُونَ يَقُولُونَ لِنَفْسِي: «لَيْسَ لَهُ خَلَاصٌ بِإِلَهِهِ». سِلَاهْ. | ٢ |
3 But Yahweh, you are like a shield [that protects me] [MET]. You greatly honor me, and you encourage me (OR, enable me to triumph over my enemies) [IDM].
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَتُرْسٌ لِي. مَجْدِي وَرَافِعُ رَأْسِي. | ٣ |
4 I cry out to you, Yahweh, and you answer me from [Zion], your sacred hill.
| بِصَوْتِي إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ أَصْرُخُ، فَيُجِيبُنِي مِنْ جَبَلِ قُدْسِهِ. سِلَاهْ. | ٤ |
5 [At night] I lie down and sleep, and I awake [in the morning feeling good/refreshed] because you, Yahweh, (take care of/protect) me [all during the night].
| أَنَا ٱضْطَجَعْتُ وَنِمْتُ. ٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَعْضُدُنِي. | ٥ |
6 There may be thousands of [enemy] soldiers who surround me, but I am not afraid.
| لَا أَخَافُ مِنْ رِبْوَاتِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلْمُصْطَفِّينَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ حَوْلِي. | ٦ |
7 Yahweh, arise! My God, [come and] rescue me [again]! You [insult] my enemies by slapping them on their cheeks; [when you strike them], you break their teeth, [with the result that they cannot hurt anyone] [MET].
| قُمْ يَارَبُّ! خَلِّصْنِي يَا إِلَهِي! لِأَنَّكَ ضَرَبْتَ كُلَّ أَعْدَائِي عَلَى ٱلْفَكِّ. هَشَّمْتَ أَسْنَانَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ. | ٧ |
8 Yahweh, you are the one who saves your people [from their enemies]. Yahweh, bless your people!
| لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْخَلَاصُ عَلَى شَعْبِكَ بَرَكَتُكَ. سِلَاهْ. | ٨ |
