Sálmarnir 3
Icelandic Bible
3 Sálmur Davíðs, þá er hann flýði fyrir Absalon syni sínum.
2 Drottinn, hversu margir eru mótstöðumenn mínir, margir eru þeir er rísa upp í móti mér.
3 Margir segja um mig: "Hann fær enga hjálp hjá Guði!" [Sela]
4 En þú, Drottinn, ert hlífiskjöldur minn, þú ert sæmd mín og lætur mig bera höfuð mitt hátt.
5 Þá er ég hrópa til Drottins, svarar hann mér frá fjallinu sínu helga. [Sela]
6 Ég leggst til hvíldar og sofna, ég vakna aftur, því að Drottinn hjálpar mér.
7 Ég óttast eigi hinn óteljandi manngrúa, er fylkir sér gegn mér á allar hliðar.
8 Rís þú upp, Drottinn, hjálpa mér, Guð minn, því að þú hefir lostið fjandmenn mína kinnhest, brotið tennur illvirkjanna.
9 Hjá Drottni er hjálpin, blessun þín komi yfir lýð þinn! [Sela]
Psalm 3
New King James Version
The Lord Helps His Troubled People
A Psalm of David (A)when he fled from Absalom his son.
3 Lord, how they have increased who trouble me!
Many are they who rise up against me.
2 Many are they who say of me,
“There is no help for him in God.” Selah
3 But You, O Lord, are (B)a shield [a]for me,
My glory and (C)the One who lifts up my head.
4 I cried to the Lord with my voice,
And (D)He heard me from His (E)holy hill. Selah
5 (F)I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.
6 (G)I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me all around.
7 Arise, O Lord;
Save me, O my God!
(H)For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone;
You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 (I)Salvation belongs to the Lord.
Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah

Psalm 3
King James Version
3 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
