Psalms 3 — Side by side (WEB, ASV, DRA)

1Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.

1 Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.

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

2Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. [Selah

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

3But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory, and the lifter up of my head.

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

4I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. [Selah

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

5I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.

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

6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.

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

7Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

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

8Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. [Selah

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

9(not in this translation)

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