Psalms 3
1 Yahweh, I have many enemies [DOU]! There are many people who oppose/rebel against me.
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.
2 Many people are saying about me, “God will [certainly] not help him!”
Many [people] [are] saying of self my there not [is] deliverance for him in God (Selah)
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].
And you O Yahweh [are] a shield behind me honor my and [the one who] lifts up head my.
4 I cry out to you, Yahweh, and you answer me from [Zion], your sacred hill.
Voice my to Yahweh I called out and he answered me from [the] mountain of holiness his (Selah)
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].
I I lay down and I slept! I awoke for Yahweh he sustains me.
6 There may be thousands of [enemy] soldiers who surround me, but I am not afraid.
Not I will be afraid from ten thousands of people who all around they have taken a stand on me.
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].
Arise! O Yahweh - save me O God my for you have struck all enemies my jaw [the] teeth of wicked [people] you have broken.
8 Yahweh, you are the one who saves your people [from their enemies]. Yahweh, bless your people!
[belongs] to Yahweh deliverance [is] towards people your blessing your (Selah)
