< Psalm 3 >
1 [Psalm lal David, ke el Kaingkunul Absalom, Wen natul] O LEUM GOD, puslana mwet lokoalok luk, Pusenina mwet tuyak lainyu!
A psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. How many, Lord, are my foes! Those who rise up against me are many.
2 Elos kaskas keik ac fahk, “God El ac tia kasrel.”
Many are those who say of me, “There is no help for him in his God.” (Selah)
3 Tusruktu, O LEUM GOD, kom mwe loang luk liki ongoiya in pacl e nukewa. Kom ase nu sik kutangla, Ac akpulaikyeyu.
But you, Lord, are shield about me, my glory, who lifts up my head.
4 Nga pang nu sin LEUM GOD tuh elan kasreyu, Ac El topukyu liki eol mutal sel.
When loudly I call to the Lord, from his holy hill he gives answer. (Selah)
5 Nga ona ac motulla, Ac LEUM GOD El karinginyu nwe ke nga ngutalik.
I laid down and slept: now I wake, for the Lord sustains me.
6 Nga tia sangeng sin tausin mwet lokoalok Su rauniyula yen nukewa.
I fear not the myriads of people who beset me on every side.
7 Fahsru, LEUM GOD! Moliyula, God luk! Kom kai mwet lokoalok luk nukewa Ac akmunasyalos, na wangin ku lalos in aklokoalokyeyu.
Arise, Lord: save me, my God, who strikes all my foes on the cheek, and shatters the teeth of the wicked.
8 Kutangla tuku sin LEUM GOD— Lela tuh Elan akinsewowoye mwet lal.
Victory belongs to the Lord: let your blessing descend on your people. (Selah)
