Psalm 3
New Living Translation
Psalm 3
A psalm of David, regarding the time David fled from his son Absalom.
1 O Lord, I have so many enemies;
so many are against me.
2 So many are saying,
“God will never rescue him!” Interlude[a]
3 But you, O Lord, are a shield around me;
you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.
4 I cried out to the Lord,
and he answered me from his holy mountain. Interlude
5 I lay down and slept,
yet I woke up in safety,
for the Lord was watching over me.
6 I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies
who surround me on every side.
7 Arise, O Lord!
Rescue me, my God!
Slap all my enemies in the face!
Shatter the teeth of the wicked!
8 Victory comes from you, O Lord.
May you bless your people. Interlude

Salmos 3
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Salmo de David, cuando huía de su hijo Absalón.
3 Muchos son, Señor, mis enemigos;
muchos son los que se oponen a mí,
2 y muchos los que de mí aseguran:
«Dios no lo salvará». Selah
3 Pero tú, Señor, me rodeas cual escudo;
tú eres mi gloria;
¡tú mantienes en alto mi cabeza!
4 Clamo al Señor a gritos,
y desde su monte santo él me responde. Selah
5 Yo me acuesto, me duermo y vuelvo a despertar,
porque el Señor me sostiene.
6 No me asustan los numerosos pueblos
que me acosan por doquier.
7 ¡Levántate, Señor!
¡Ponme a salvo, Dios mío!
¡Rómpeles la quijada a mis enemigos!
¡Rómpeles los dientes a los malvados!
8 Tuya es, Señor, la salvación;
¡envía tu bendición sobre tu pueblo! Selah
