Psalm 3

International Children’s Bible

A Morning Prayer

David sang this when he ran away from his son Absalom.

3 Lord, I have many enemies!
Many people have turned against me.
²Many people are talking about me.
They say, “God won’t rescue him.” Selah

³But, Lord, you are my shield.
You are my wonderful God who gives me courage.
⁴I will pray to the Lord.
And he will answer me from his holy mountain. Selah

⁵I can lie down and go to sleep.
    And I will wake up again
    because the Lord protects me.
⁶Thousands of enemies may surround me.
    But I am not afraid.

⁷Lord, rise up!
    My God, come save me!
You have hit my enemies on the cheek.
    You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
⁸The Lord can save his people.
    Lord, bless your people. Selah

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

English Standard Version

Save Me, O My God

A Psalm of David, ^(A)when he fled from Absalom his son.

3 O Lord, ^(B)how many are my foes!
Many are ^(C)rising against me;
²many are saying of my soul,
^(D)“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah^[a]

³But you, O Lord, are ^(E)a shield ^(F)about me,
my glory, and ^(G)the lifter of my head.
⁴I ^(H)cried aloud to the Lord,
and he ^(I)answered me from his ^(J)holy hill. Selah

⁵I ^(K)lay down and slept;
I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
⁶I ^(L)will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have ^(M)set themselves against me all around.

⁷^(N)Arise, O Lord!
Save me, O my God!
For you ^(O)strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you ^(P)break the teeth of the wicked.

⁸^(Q)Salvation belongs to the Lord;
your blessing be on your people! Selah
