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 concerning the time he had to flee from his son Absalom. Lord, my enemies have become so many; so many are rebelling against me.
2 multi dicunt animae meae non est salus ipsi in Deo eius diapsalma
So many are telling me, “God can't save you!” (Selah)
3 tu autem Domine susceptor meus es gloria mea et exaltans caput meum
But you, Lord, are a shield protecting me. You give me victory; you hold my head high.
4 voce mea ad Dominum clamavi et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo diapsalma
I cry out to the Lord for help, and he answers me from his holy mountain. (Selah)
5 ego dormivi et soporatus sum exsurrexi quia Dominus suscipiet me
I lie down to sleep, and in the morning I wake up because the Lord takes care of me.
6 non timebo milia populi circumdantis me exsurge Domine salvum me fac Deus meus
I'm not afraid of tens of thousands who surround me, people who are against me.
7 quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa dentes peccatorum contrivisti
Stand up for me, Lord! Save me, my God! Hit all my enemies on the cheek; break the teeth of the wicked!
8 Domini est salus et super populum tuum benedictio tua
Salvation belongs to you, Lord; may you be a blessing to your people. (Selah)
