Psalmorum 3
1 Psalmus David, Cum fugeret a facie Absalom filii sui. Domine quid multiplicati sunt qui tribulant me? multi insurgunt adversum me.
A Psalm of David. When he fled from the face of his son, Absalom. Lord, why have those who trouble me been multiplied? Many rise up against me.
2 Multi dicunt animæ meæ: Non est salus ipsi in Deo eius.
Many say to my soul, “There is no salvation for him in his God.” (Pause)
3 Tu autem Domine susceptor meus es, gloria mea, et exaltans caput meum.
But you, Lord, are my supporter, my glory, and the one who raises up my head.
4 Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi: et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo.
I have cried out to the Lord with my voice, and he has heard me from his holy mountain. (Pause)
5 Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum: et exurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me.
I have slept, and I have been stupefied. But I awakened because the Lord has taken me up.
6 Non timebo millia populi circumdantis me: exurge Domine: salvum me fac Deus meus.
I will not fear the thousands of people surrounding me. Rise up, Lord. Save me, my God.
7 Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa: dentes peccatorum contrivisti.
For you have struck all those who oppose me without cause. You have broken the teeth of sinners.
8 Domini est salus: et super populum tuum benedictio tua.
Salvation is of the Lord, and your blessing is upon your people. (Pause)
