< Psalms 3 >
1 A psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Yahweh, how many are my enemies! Many have risen against me.
Psalm Davidov, ko je bežal pred Absalomom, sinom svojim. Gospod, koliko je sovražnikov mojih, koliko jih vstaja proti meni!
2 Many say about me, “There is no help for him from God.” (Selah)
Koliko jih govori za dušo mojo: Ni je pomoči njej v Bogu nobene.
3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
Ti pa, Gospod, ščit si meni, slava moja, in glavo mojo vzdiguješ.
4 I lift up my voice to Yahweh, and he answers me from his holy hill. (Selah)
Z glasom svojim vpijočemu v Gospoda odgovoril mi je z gore svetosti svoje.
5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for Yahweh protected me.
Jaz sem ležal in spal, zbudil sem se, ker Gospod me podpira.
6 I will not be afraid of the multitudes of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
Ne bodem se bal ljudstva tisočin, katere bodo okrog razpostavili proti meni.
7 Rise up, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you will hit all my enemies on the jaw; you will break the teeth of the wicked.
Vstani, Gospod; reši me, moj Bog, ki si udaril vse sovražnike moje po čeljusti, zobe zdrobil krivičnim.
8 Salvation comes from Yahweh. May your blessings be on your people. (Selah)
Gospodovo je rešenje; nad ljudstvom tvojim blagoslov tvoj!
