< 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, Lord, are my foes! Those who rise up against me are many.
2 Mnogo jih je, ki pravijo o moji duši: »Zanj ni pomoči pri Bogu.« (Sela)
Many are those who say of me, “There is no help for him in his God.” (Selah)
3 Toda ti, oh Gospod, si zame ščit, moja slava in tisti, ki mi dviguje mojo glavo.
But you, Lord, are shield about me, my glory, who lifts up my head.
4 S svojim glasom sem jokal h Gospodu in slišal me je iz svoje svete gore. (Sela)
When loudly I call to the Lord, from his holy hill he gives answer. (Selah)
5 Zleknil sem se in spal, prebudil sem se, kajti Gospod me je podpiral.
I laid down and slept: now I wake, for the Lord sustains me.
6 Ne bom se bal deset tisočev ljudi, ki so se okrog in okrog usmerili zoper mene.
I fear not the myriads of people who beset me on every side.
7 Vstani, oh Gospod, reši me, oh moj Bog. Kajti vse moje sovražnike si udaril po čeljusti, razbil si zobe brezbožnih.
Arise, Lord: save me, my God, who strikes all my foes on the cheek, and shatters the teeth of the wicked.
8 Rešitev duše pripada Gospodu. Nad tvojim ljudstvom je tvoj blagoslov. (Sela)
Victory belongs to the Lord: let your blessing descend on your people. (Selah)
