< Psalmorum 3 >
1 psalmus David cum fugeret a facie Abessalon 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 many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!
2 multi dicunt animae meae non est salus ipsi in Deo eius diapsalma
Many 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 thou, 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 diapsalma
With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. (Selah)
5 ego dormivi et soporatus sum exsurrexi quia Dominus suscipiet me
I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
6 non timebo milia populi circumdantis me exsurge Domine salvum me fac Deus meus
I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.
7 quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa dentes peccatorum contrivisti
Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Domini est salus et super populum tuum benedictio tua
Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
