诗篇 3
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
仇敵攻擊， 神救助
大衛的詩，是在逃避他兒子押沙龍時作的。（除特別註明外，詩篇開首細字的標題在《馬索拉文本》都屬於第1節，原文的第2節即是譯文的第1節，依次類推。）
3 耶和華啊！我的仇敵竟然這麼多。
起來攻擊我的竟然那麼多。
2 有很多人議論我說：
“他從 神那裡得不到救助。”（細拉）
3 耶和華啊！你卻是我周圍的盾牌，
是我的榮耀，是使我抬起頭來的。
4 我發聲向耶和華呼求的時候，
他就從他的聖山上回答我。（細拉）
5 我躺下，我睡覺，
我醒來，都因耶和華在扶持著我。
6 雖有千萬人包圍攻擊我，
我也不怕。
7 耶和華啊！求你起來；
我的 神啊！求你拯救我，
你擊打了我所有仇敵的臉頰，
打碎了惡人的牙齒。
8 救恩屬於耶和華，
願你賜福給你的子民。（細拉）
Psalm 3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 3[a]
Threatened but Trusting
1 A psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.[b](A)
I
2 How many are my foes, Lord!
How many rise against me!
3 [c]How many say of me,
“There is no salvation for him in God.”(B)
Selah
4 But you, Lord, are a shield around me;
my glory, you keep my head high.(C)
II
5 With my own voice I will call out to the Lord,
and he will answer me from his holy mountain.
Selah
6 I lie down and I fall asleep,
[and] I will wake up, for the Lord sustains me.(D)
7 I do not fear, then, thousands of people
arrayed against me on every side.
III
8 Arise, Lord! Save me, my God!
For you strike the cheekbone of all my foes;
you break the teeth of the wicked.(E)
9 Salvation is from the Lord!
May your blessing be upon your people!(F)
Selah
Footnotes
- Psalm 3 An individual lament complaining of enemies who deny that God will come to the rescue (Ps 3:2–3). Despite such taunts the psalmist hopes for God’s protection even in sleep (Ps 3:4–7). The Psalm prays for an end to the enemies’ power to speak maliciously (Ps 3:8) and closes peacefully with an expression of trust (Ps 3:9).
- 3:1 The superscription, added later, relates the Psalm to an incident in the life of David.
- 3:3, 3:5, 3:9 Selah: the term is generally considered a direction to the cantor or musicians but its exact meaning is not known. It occurs seventy-one times in thirty-nine Psalms.
