< Psalmi 3 >
1 Gospod, kako so se okrepili ti, ki me vznemirjajo! Številni so tisti, ki se vzdigujejo zoper mene.
“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 Mnogo jih je, ki pravijo o moji duši: »Zanj ni pomoči pri Bogu.« (Sela)
How many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him with God”! (Pause)
3 Toda ti, oh Gospod, si zame ščit, moja slava in tisti, ki mi dviguje mojo glavo.
But thou, O LORD! art my shield, My glory, and the lifter-up of my head.
4 S svojim glasom sem jokal h Gospodu in slišal me je iz svoje svete gore. (Sela)
I call upon the LORD with my voice, And he heareth me from his holy hill. (Pause)
5 Zleknil sem se in spal, prebudil sem se, kajti Gospod me je podpiral.
I lay me down and sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
6 Ne bom se bal deset tisočev ljudi, ki so se okrog in okrog usmerili zoper mene.
I will not fear the ten thousands of people Who on every side set themselves against me.
7 Vstani, oh Gospod, reši me, oh moj Bog. Kajti vse moje sovražnike si udaril po čeljusti, razbil si zobe brezbožnih.
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 Rešitev duše pripada Gospodu. Nad tvojim ljudstvom je tvoj blagoslov. (Sela)
Deliverance cometh from the LORD: May thy blessing be with thy people! (Pause)
