Salmos 3

1Salmo de David cuando huía de su hijo Absalón.

2Oh Yahvé, ¡cuán numerosos son mis perseguidores! ¡Cuántos se levantan contra mí!

3Muchos son los que dicen de mi vida: “No hay para él salvación en Dios.”

4Pero Tú, Yahvé, eres mi escudo, Tú mi gloria, Tú quien me hace erguir la cabeza.

5Con mi voz invoco a Yahvé y Él me oye desde su santo monte.

6Me acuesto y me duermo, y despierto incólume, porque Yahvé me sostiene.

7No temo a los muchos millares de gentes que en derredor se ponen contra mí.

8Levántate, Yahvé; sálvame, Dios mío, Tú que heriste en la mejilla a todos mis enemigos, y a los impíos les quebraste los dientes.

9De Yahvé viene la salvación, ¡Que sea tu bendición sobre tu pueblo!

1Psalmus David, cum fugeret a facie Absalom filii sui.

2[Domine, quid multiplicati sunt qui tribulant me? Multi insurgunt adversum me;

3multi dicunt animæ meæ: Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.

4Tu autem Domine, susceptor meus es, gloria mea, et exaltans caput meum.

5Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi; et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo.

6Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum; et exsurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me.

7Non timebo millia populi circumdantis me. Exsurge, Domine; salvum me fac, Deus meus.

8Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa; dentes peccatorum contrivisti.

9Domini est salus; et super populum tuum benedictio tua.]

1The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.

2Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.

3Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.

4But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

5I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.

6I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.

7I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.

8For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.

9Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
