Psalms 3
1 `The salm of Dauid, whanne he fledde fro the face of Absolon, his sone. Lord, whi ben thei multiplied that disturblen me?
【困苦人的祈禱】 達味詩歌，作於逃避其子阿貝沙隆時。 上主，迫害我的人，不可勝數! 攻擊我的人，成群結隊！
2 many men rysen ayens me. Many men seien of my soule, Noon helthe is to hym in his God.
很多人論及我說：天主絕不拯救他！
3 But thou, Lord, art myn vptakere; my glorye, and enhaunsyng myn heed.
但是你，上主，是圍護我的盾牌，是我的榮耀，常使我首昂頭抬。
4 With my vois Y criede to the Lord; and he herde me fro his hooli hil.
我一向上主大聲呼號，祂便從聖山上俯聽我。
5 I slepte, and `was quenchid, and Y roos vp; for the Lord resseyuede me.
我躺下安睡，我又醒了，因為上主常扶持著我。
6 I schal not drede thousyndis of puple cumpassynge me; Lord, rise thou vp; my God, make thou me saaf.
雖有千萬人，向我圍攻，我一絲一毫也不驚恐。
7 For thou hast smyte alle men beynge aduersaries to me with out cause; thou hast al to-broke the teeth of synneris.
上主，請你興起奮發；我的天主，求你救拔，因為你擊破了我仇敵的腮頰，你打破眾惡人的門牙。
8 Helthe is of the Lord; and thi blessyng, Lord, is on thi puple.
救援之恩完全屬於上主；願你的百姓受你的祝福！
