< Psalms 3 >
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they multiplied that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
Gospod, kako so se okrepili ti, ki me vznemirjajo! Številni so tisti, ki se vzdigujejo zoper mene.
2 Many there are who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
Mnogo jih je, ki pravijo o moji duši: »Zanj ni pomoči pri Bogu.« (Sela)
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
Toda ti, oh Gospod, si zame ščit, moja slava in tisti, ki mi dviguje mojo glavo.
4 I cried to the LORD with my voice, and he heard me from his holy hill. (Selah)
S svojim glasom sem jokal h Gospodu in slišal me je iz svoje svete gore. (Sela)
5 I laid me down and slept; I awoke; for the LORD sustained me.
Zleknil sem se in spal, prebudil sem se, kajti Gospod me je podpiral.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me on all sides.
Ne bom se bal deset tisočev ljudi, ki so se okrog in okrog usmerili zoper mene.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
Vstani, oh Gospod, reši me, oh moj Bog. Kajti vse moje sovražnike si udaril po čeljusti, razbil si zobe brezbožnih.
8 Salvation belongeth to the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
Rešitev duše pripada Gospodu. Nad tvojim ljudstvom je tvoj blagoslov. (Sela)
