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.
Adonai, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Many [there are] who say of my soul, [There is] no help for him in God. (Selah)
Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no yishu'ah ·salvation· for him in God.” (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
3 But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
But you, Adonai, are a shield around me, my kavod ·weighty glory·, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 I cried to the LORD with my voice, and he heard me from his holy hill. (Selah)
I cry to Adonai with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Adonai sustains me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set [themselves] against me on all sides.
I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
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.
Arise, Adonai! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation [belongeth] to the LORD: thy blessing [is] upon thy people. (Selah)
Yishu'ah ·Salvation· belongs to Adonai. Your blessing be on your people. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
