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 the presence of his son Abessalom. O Lord, why are they that afflict me multiplied? many rise up against me.
2 Multi dicunt animæ meæ: Non est salus ipsi in Deo eius.
Many say concerning my soul, There is no deliverance for him in his God. (Pause)
3 Tu autem Domine susceptor meus es, gloria mea, et exaltans caput meum.
But you, O Lord, are my helper: my glory, and the one that lifts up 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 mountain. (Pause)
5 Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum: et exurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me.
I lay down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord will help 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, who beset me round about.
7 Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa: dentes peccatorum contrivisti.
Arise, Lord; deliver me, my God: for you have struck all who were without cause mine enemies; you have broken the teeth of sinners.
8 Domini est salus: et super populum tuum benedictio tua.
Deliverance is the Lord's, and your blessing is upon your people.
