Psalmorum 3
1 Psalmus David, cum fugeret a facie Absalom filii sui. [Domine, quid multiplicati sunt qui tribulant me? Multi insurgunt adversum me;
A psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Yahweh, how many are my enemies! Many have risen against me.
2 multi dicunt animæ meæ: Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.
Many say about me, “There is no help for him from God.” (Selah)
3 Tu autem Domine, susceptor meus es, gloria mea, et exaltans caput meum.
But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi; et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo.
I lift up my voice to Yahweh, and he answers me from his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum; et exsurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me.
I lay down and slept; I awoke, for Yahweh protected me.
6 Non timebo millia populi circumdantis me. Exsurge, Domine; salvum me fac, Deus meus.
I will not be afraid of the multitudes of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
7 Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa; dentes peccatorum contrivisti.
Rise up, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you will hit all my enemies on the jaw; you will break the teeth of the wicked.
8 Domini est salus; et super populum tuum benedictio tua.]
Salvation comes from Yahweh. May your blessings be on your people. (Selah)
