Psalms 3

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [Psalm Of David When he was fleeing from his son Absalom] Yahweh, how countless are my enemies,how countless those who rise up against me,	1 The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.
2 how countless those who say of me, 'No salvation for him from his God!'Pause	2 Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
3 But you, Yahweh, the shield at my side, my glory, you hold my head high.	3 Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
4 I cry out to Yahweh; he answers from his holy mountain.Pause	4 But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
5 As for me, if I lie down and sleep, I shall awake, for Yahweh sustains me.	5 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
6 I have no fear of people in their thousands upon thousands, who range themselves against mewherever I turn.	6 I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
7 Arise, Yahweh, rescue me, my God! You strike all my foes across the face, you break the teeth of thewicked.	7 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
8 In Yahweh is salvation, on your people, your blessing!Pause	8 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
	9 Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
