1 A Psalm. Of David. When he went in flight from Absalom his son.2 \3:1\Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me.3 \3:2\Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah.)4 \3:3\But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.5 \3:4\I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah.)6 \3:5\I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support.7 \3:6\I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me.8 \3:7\Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you.9 \3:8\Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah.)

1 Psalmus David, cum fugeret a facie Absalom filii sui. 2 [Domine, quid multiplicati sunt qui tribulant me ?Multi insurgunt adversum me ;3 multi dicunt anim me :Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.4 Tu autem Domine, susceptor meus es,gloria mea, et exaltans caput meum.5 Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi ;et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo.6 Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum ;et exsurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me.7 Non timebo millia populi circumdantis me.Exsurge, Domine ; salvum me fac, Deus meus.8 Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa ;dentes peccatorum contrivisti.9 Domini est salus ;et super populum tuum benedictio tua.]
