< Psalms 3 >
1 A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
Psalm Davidov, ko je bežal pred Absalomom, sinom svojim. Gospod, koliko je sovražnikov mojih, koliko jih vstaja proti meni!
2 Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” (Selah)
Koliko jih govori za dušo mojo: Ni je pomoči njej v Bogu nobene.
3 But you, LORD, 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 cry to the LORD with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
Z glasom svojim vpijočemu v Gospoda odgovoril mi je z gore svetosti svoje.
5 I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for the LORD sustains me.
Jaz sem ležal in spal, zbudil sem se, ker Gospod me podpira.
6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
Ne bodem se bal ljudstva tisočin, katere bodo okrog razpostavili proti meni.
7 Arise, LORD! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
Vstani, Gospod; reši me, moj Bog, ki si udaril vse sovražnike moje po čeljusti, zobe zdrobil krivičnim.
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD. May your blessing be on your people. (Selah)
Gospodovo je rešenje; nad ljudstvom tvojim blagoslov tvoj!
