< Psalms 3 >
1 Yahweh, I have many enemies [DOU]! There are many people who oppose/rebel against me.
Gospode! kako je mnogo neprijatelja mojih! Mnogi ustaju na me.
2 Many people are saying about me, “God will [certainly] not help him!”
Mnogi govore za dušu moju: nema mu pomoæi od Boga.
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].
Ali ti si, Gospode, štit koji me zaklanja, slava moja; ti podižeš glavu moju.
4 I cry out to you, Yahweh, and you answer me from [Zion], your sacred hill.
Glasom svojim vièem ka Gospodu, i èuje me sa svete gore svoje.
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].
Ja liježem, spavam i ustajem, jer me Gospod èuva.
6 There may be thousands of [enemy] soldiers who surround me, but I am not afraid.
Ne bojim se mnogo tisuæa naroda što sa svijeh strana navaljuje na 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].
Ustani, Gospode! pomozi mi, Bože moj! jer ti udaraš po obrazu sve neprijatelje moje; razbijaš zube bezbožnicima.
8 Yahweh, you are the one who saves your people [from their enemies]. Yahweh, bless your people!
Od Gospoda je spasenje; neka bude na narodu tvom blagoslov tvoj!
