Psalms 3

DOUAI-RHEIMS	VULGATA
1 The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.	1 Psalmus David, cum fugeret a facie Absalom filii sui.
2 Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.	2 Domine, quid multiplicati sunt qui tribulant me ? Multi insurgunt adversum me ;
3 Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.	3 multi dicunt animæ meæ : Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.
4 But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.	4 Tu autem Domine, susceptor meus es, gloria mea, et exaltans caput meum.
5 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.	5 Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi ; et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo.
6 I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.	6 Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum ; et exsurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me.
7 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.	7 Non timebo millia populi circumdantis me. Exsurge, Domine ; salvum me fac, Deus meus.
8 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.	8 Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa ; dentes peccatorum contrivisti.
9 Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.	9 Domini est salus ; et super populum tuum benedictio tua.
