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 are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.
2 Multi dicunt animæ meæ: Non est salus ipsi in Deo eius.
Many there are that 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 thou, O 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.
I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth 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 Jehovah sustaineth me.
6 Non timebo millia populi circumdantis me: exurge Domine: salvum me fac Deus meus.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.
7 Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa: dentes peccatorum contrivisti.
Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Domini est salus: et super populum tuum benedictio tua.
Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
