Mazmur 3
1 Mazmur Daud, ketika ia lari dari Absalom, anaknya. Ya TUHAN, betapa banyaknya lawanku! Banyak orang yang bangkit menyerang aku;
A Psalm. Of David. When he went in flight from Absalom his son. Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me.
2 banyak orang yang berkata tentang aku: "Baginya tidak ada pertolongan dari pada Allah." (Sela)
Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
3 Tetapi Engkau, TUHAN, adalah perisai yang melindungi aku, Engkaulah kemuliaanku dan yang mengangkat kepalaku.
But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.
4 Dengan nyaring aku berseru kepada TUHAN, dan Ia menjawab aku dari gunung-Nya yang kudus. (Sela)
I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Aku membaringkan diri, lalu tidur; aku bangun, sebab TUHAN menopang aku!
I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support.
6 Aku tidak takut kepada puluhan ribu orang yang siap mengepung aku.
I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me.
7 Bangkitlah, TUHAN, tolonglah aku, ya Allahku! Ya, Engkau telah memukul rahang semua musuhku, dan mematahkan gigi orang-orang fasik.
Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you.
8 Dari TUHAN datang pertolongan. Berkat-Mu atas umat-Mu! (Sela)
Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah)
