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 his son Absalom.” How many, O LORD, are mine enemies! How many are they who rise up against me!
2 multi dicunt animae meae non est salus ipsi in Deo eius diapsalma
How many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him with God”! (Pause)
3 tu autem Domine susceptor meus es gloria mea et exaltans caput meum
But thou, O LORD! art my shield, My glory, and the lifter-up of my head.
4 voce mea ad Dominum clamavi et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo diapsalma
I call upon the LORD with my voice, And he heareth me from his holy hill. (Pause)
5 ego dormivi et soporatus sum exsurrexi quia Dominus suscipiet me
I lay me down and sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
6 non timebo milia populi circumdantis me exsurge Domine salvum me fac Deus meus
I will not fear the ten thousands of people Who on every side set themselves against me.
7 quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa dentes peccatorum contrivisti
Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For thou smitest the cheek of all my enemies; Thou breakest the teeth of the wicked.
8 Domini est salus et super populum tuum benedictio tua
Deliverance cometh from the LORD: May thy blessing be with thy people! (Pause)
