< Psalms 3 >

1 A Psalm of David, in his fleeing from the face of Absalom his son. Jehovah, how have my distresses multiplied! Many are rising up against me.
Psalam. Davidov. Kad je David bježao pred sinom Abšalomom. Jahve, koliko je tlačitelja mojih, koliki se podižu na me!
2 Many are saying of my soul, 'There is no salvation for him in God.' (Selah)
Mnogi su što o meni zbore: “Nema mu spasenja u Bogu!”
3 And Thou, O Jehovah, [art] a shield for me, My honour, and lifter up of my head.
Ti si ipak štit moj, Jahve; slavo moja, ti mi glavu podižeš.
4 My voice [is] unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from his holy hill, (Selah)
Iza sveg glasa Jahvi zavapih, i on me usliša sa svete gore svoje.
5 I — I have lain down, and I sleep, I have waked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
Sad mogu leć' i usnuti, i onda ustat' jer me Jahve drži.
6 I am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they have set against me.
Ne bojim se tisuća ljudi što me opsjedaju dušmanski.
7 Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies [on] the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.
Ustani, o Jahve! Spasi me, o Bože moj! Ti udaraš po obrazu sve neprijatelje moje, opakima zube razbijaš.
8 Of Jehovah [is] this salvation; On Thy people [is] Thy blessing! (Selah)
U Jahve je spasenje: na tvom narodu tvoj je blagoslov!
