< Mazmur 3 >
1 Mazmur Daud, ketika ia lari dari Absalom, anaknya. Ya TUHAN, alangkah banyaknya musuhku, sangat banyak yang menyerang aku!
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.
2 Ada banyak yang berkata bahwa Allah tak mau menolong aku.
Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” (Selah)
3 Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, adalah perisai yang melindungi aku. Kauberi aku kemenangan, dan Kaubesarkan hatiku.
But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 Aku berseru kepada TUHAN; dari bukit-Nya yang suci Ia menjawab aku.
I cry to the LORD with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Aku berbaring dan tidur dengan tentram, dan bangun lagi, sebab TUHAN menopang aku.
I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for the LORD sustains me.
6 Aku tidak takut kepada ribuan lawan yang mengepung aku dari segala jurusan.
I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
7 Selamatkanlah aku, ya TUHAN Allahku, hukumlah dan lumpuhkanlah semua lawanku.
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.
8 Dari Engkaulah datang pertolongan, ya TUHAN, sudilah memberkati umat-Mu.
Salvation belongs to the LORD. May your blessing be on your people. (Selah)
