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 before Abshalom his son.” Lord, how numerous are my assailants! how many, that rise up against me!
2 Multi dicunt animae meae: Non est salus ipsi in Deo eius.
Many say of my soul, There is no help for him with God. (Selah)
3 Tu autem Domine susceptor meus es, gloria mea, et exaltans caput meum.
But thou, O Lord, art a shield around me, my glory, and he that lifteth up my head.
4 Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi: et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo.
With my voice I call unto the Lord, and he answereth me out of his holy mountain. (Selah)
5 Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum: et exurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me.
I laid myself down and slept: I awoke; for the Lord 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 people, that have placed themselves round about against me.
7 Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa: dentes peccatorum contrivisti.
Arise, O Lord, help me, O my God; for thou smitest all my enemies upon the cheek bone: the teeth of the wicked dost thou break.
8 Domini est salus: et super populum tuum benedictio tua.
Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
