Psalmorum 3
1 Psalmus David, Cum fugeret a facie Absalom filii sui. Domine quid multiplicati sunt qui tribulant me? multi insurgunt adversum me.
Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Multi dicunt animæ meæ: Non est salus ipsi in Deo eius.
Many there be which 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, O LORD, are a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi: et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo.
I cried to the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum: et exurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 Non timebo millia populi circumdantis me: exurge Domine: salvum me fac Deus meus.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa: dentes peccatorum contrivisti.
Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for you have smitten all my enemies on the cheek bone; you have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Domini est salus: et super populum tuum benedictio tua.
Salvation belongs to the LORD: your blessing is on your people. (Selah)
