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 by David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 multi dicunt animæ meæ: Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.
Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” (Selah)
3 Tu autem Domine, susceptor meus es, gloria mea, et exaltans caput meum.
But you, LORD, 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 cry to the LORD with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum; et exsurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me.
I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for the LORD sustains me.
6 Non timebo millia populi circumdantis me. Exsurge, Domine; salvum me fac, Deus meus.
I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
7 Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa; dentes peccatorum contrivisti.
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 Domini est salus; et super populum tuum benedictio tua.]
Salvation belongs to the LORD. May your blessing be on your people. (Selah)
