< 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.
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 you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
Toda ti, oh Gospod, si zame ščit, moja slava in tisti, ki mi dviguje mojo glavo.
4 I cry to the LORD with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
S svojim glasom sem jokal h Gospodu in slišal me je iz svoje svete gore. (Sela)
5 I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for the LORD sustains me.
Zleknil sem se in spal, prebudil sem se, kajti Gospod me je podpiral.
6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
Ne bom se bal deset tisočev ljudi, ki so se okrog in okrog usmerili zoper mene.
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, oh Gospod, reši me, oh moj Bog. Kajti vse moje sovražnike si udaril po čeljusti, razbil si zobe brezbožnih.
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD. May your blessing be on your people. (Selah)
Rešitev duše pripada Gospodu. Nad tvojim ljudstvom je tvoj blagoslov. (Sela)
