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. Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!
2 Multi dicunt animæ meæ: Non est salus ipsi in Deo eius.
Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. (Selah)
3 Tu autem Domine susceptor meus es, gloria mea, et exaltans caput meum.
But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi: et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo.
With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. (Selah)
5 Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum: et exurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
6 Non timebo millia populi circumdantis me: exurge Domine: salvum me fac Deus meus.
I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa: dentes peccatorum contrivisti.
Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Domini est salus: et super populum tuum benedictio tua.
Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
