Psalms 3
1 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.
Psalam. Davidov. Kad je David bježao pred sinom Abšalomom. Jahve, koliko je tlačitelja mojih, koliki se podižu na me!
2 Many are those who say of me, “There is no help for him in his God.” (Selah)
Mnogi su što o meni zbore: “Nema mu spasenja u Bogu!”
3 But you, Lord, are shield about me, my glory, who lifts up my head.
Ti si ipak štit moj, Jahve; slavo moja, ti mi glavu podižeš.
4 When loudly I call to the Lord, from his holy hill he gives answer. (Selah)
Iza sveg glasa Jahvi zavapih, i on me usliša sa svete gore svoje.
5 I laid down and slept: now I wake, for the Lord sustains me.
Sad mogu leć' i usnuti, i onda ustat' jer me Jahve drži.
6 I fear not the myriads of people who beset me on every side.
Ne bojim se tisuća ljudi što me opsjedaju dušmanski.
7 Arise, Lord: save me, my God, who strikes all my foes on the cheek, and shatters the teeth of the wicked.
Ustani, o Jahve! Spasi me, o Bože moj! Ti udaraš po obrazu sve neprijatelje moje, opakima zube razbijaš.
8 Victory belongs to the Lord: let your blessing descend on your people. (Selah)
U Jahve je spasenje: na tvom narodu tvoj je blagoslov!
