< 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, IN HIS FLEEING FROM THE FACE OF HIS SON ABSALOM. YHWH, how my distresses have multiplied! Many are rising up against me.
2 Multi dicunt animæ meæ: Non est salus ipsi in Deo eius.
Many are saying 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.
And You, O YHWH, [are] a shield for me, My glory, and lifter up of my head.
4 Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi: et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo.
My voice [is] to YHWH: I call and He answers me from His holy hill, (Selah)
5 Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum: et exurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me.
I have lain down, and I sleep, I have awoken, for YHWH sustains me.
6 Non timebo millia populi circumdantis me: exurge Domine: salvum me fac Deus meus.
I am not afraid of myriads of people, That they have set against me all around.
7 Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa: dentes peccatorum contrivisti.
Rise, O YHWH! Save me, my God! For You have struck all my enemies [on] the cheek. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Domini est salus: et super populum tuum benedictio tua.
This salvation [is] of YHWH; Your blessing [is] on Your people! (Selah)
