< 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.
Psalm Davidov, ko je bežal pred Absalomom, sinom svojim. Gospod, koliko je sovražnikov mojih, koliko jih vstaja proti meni!
2 Many are saying of my soul, 'There is no salvation for him in God.' (Selah)
Koliko jih govori za dušo mojo: Ni je pomoči njej v Bogu nobene.
3 And Thou, O Jehovah, [art] a shield for me, My honour, and lifter up of my head.
Ti pa, Gospod, ščit si meni, slava moja, in glavo mojo vzdiguješ.
4 My voice [is] unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from his holy hill, (Selah)
Z glasom svojim vpijočemu v Gospoda odgovoril mi je z gore svetosti svoje.
5 I — I have lain down, and I sleep, I have waked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
Jaz sem ležal in spal, zbudil sem se, ker Gospod me podpira.
6 I am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they have set against me.
Ne bodem se bal ljudstva tisočin, katere bodo okrog razpostavili proti meni.
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.
Vstani, Gospod; reši me, moj Bog, ki si udaril vse sovražnike moje po čeljusti, zobe zdrobil krivičnim.
8 Of Jehovah [is] this salvation; On Thy people [is] Thy blessing! (Selah)
Gospodovo je rešenje; nad ljudstvom tvojim blagoslov tvoj!
