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 by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.] Jehovah, how my adversaries have increased. Many rise up against me.
2 multi dicunt animæ meæ: Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.
Many there are who 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 you, Jehovah, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi; et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo.
I cried out to Jehovah with my voice, and he answered me from his holy mountain. (Selah)
5 Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum; et exsurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me.
I lay down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.
6 Non timebo millia populi circumdantis me. Exsurge, Domine; salvum me fac, Deus meus.
I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
7 Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa; dentes peccatorum contrivisti.
Arise, Jehovah. Save me, my God. For you slap all my enemies in the face. You break the teeth of the wicked.
8 Domini est salus; et super populum tuum benedictio tua.
Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Your blessing is upon your people. (Selah)
