< 詩篇 3 >
1 ダビデその子アブサロムを避しときのうた ヱホバよ我にあたする者のいかに蔓延れるや 我にさからびて起りたつもの多し
“A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.” How many, O LORD, are mine enemies! How many are they who rise up against me!
2 わが霊魂をあげつらひて かれは神にすくはるることなしといふ者ぞおほき (セラ)
How many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him with God”! (Pause)
3 されどヱホバよ なんぢは我をかこめる盾わが榮わが首をもたげ給ふものなり
But thou, O LORD! art my shield, My glory, and the lifter-up of my head.
4 われ聲をあげてヱホバによばはればその聖山より我にこたへたまふ (セラ)
I call upon the LORD with my voice, And he heareth me from his holy hill. (Pause)
5 われ臥していね また目さめたり ヱホバわれを支へたまへばなり
I lay me down and sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
6 われをかこみて立かまへたる干萬の人をも我はおそれじ
I will not fear the ten thousands of people Who on every side set themselves against me.
7 ヱホバよねがはくは起たまへ わが神よわれを救ひたまへ なんぢ曩にわがすべての仇の頬骨をうち惡きものの歯ををりたまへり
Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For thou smitest the cheek of all my enemies; Thou breakest the teeth of the wicked.
8 救はヱホバにあり ねがはくは恩恵なんぢの民のうへに在んことを (セラ)
Deliverance cometh from the LORD: May thy blessing be with thy people! (Pause)
