< תהילים 3 >

מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד בְּבָרְחוֹ מִפְּנֵי ׀ אַבְשָׁלוֹם בְּנֽוֹ׃ יְהוָה מָֽה־רַבּוּ צָרָי רַבִּים קָמִים עָלָֽי׃ 1
A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
רַבִּים אֹמְרִים לְנַפְשִׁי אֵין יְֽשׁוּעָתָה לּוֹ בֵֽאלֹהִים סֶֽלָה׃ 2
Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” (Selah)
וְאַתָּה יְהוָה מָגֵן בַּעֲדִי כְּבוֹדִי וּמֵרִים רֹאשִֽׁי׃ 3
But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
קוֹלִי אֶל־יְהוָה אֶקְרָא וַיַּֽעֲנֵנִי מֵהַר קָדְשׁוֹ סֶֽלָה׃ 4
I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
אֲנִי שָׁכַבְתִּי וָֽאִישָׁנָה הֱקִיצוֹתִי כִּי יְהוָה יִסְמְכֵֽנִי׃ 5
I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for Yahweh sustains me.
לֹֽא־אִירָא מֵרִבְבוֹת עָם אֲשֶׁר סָבִיב שָׁתוּ עָלָֽי׃ 6
I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
קוּמָה יְהוָה ׀ הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי אֱלֹהַי כִּֽי־הִכִּיתָ אֶת־כָּל־אֹיְבַי לֶחִי שִׁנֵּי רְשָׁעִים שִׁבַּֽרְתָּ׃ 7
Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
לַיהוָה הַיְשׁוּעָה עַֽל־עַמְּךָ בִרְכָתֶךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ 8
Salvation belongs to Yahweh. May your blessing be on your people. (Selah)
