3:1 The psalm of David, when he fled from the face of Absalom, his son . Lord, why be they multiplied that trouble me? many men rise against me. ( The song of David, when he fled from his son Absalom . Lord, why be there so many who trouble me? why be there so many who rise up against me?) 3:2 Many men say of my soul, None health there is to him in his God. (Many say of me, There is no help for him from his God.) 3:3 But thou, Lord, art mine up-taker; my glory, and enhancing mine head. (But thou, Lord, art my defender; my glory, and the one who lifteth up my head.) 3:4 With my voice I cried to the Lord; and he heard me from his holy hill. (I cried to the Lord with my voice; and he answered me from his holy hill.) 3:5 I slept, and rested, and I rose up; for the Lord received me (for the Lord had protected me). 3:6 I shall not dread thousands of people (en)compassing me; (I shall not fear even thousands of people surrounding me;) 3:7 Lord, arise thou; my God, make me safe. For thou hast smitten all men being adversaries to me without cause; thou hast all-broken the teeth of sinners. (Lord, rise thou up; my God, save me. Thou hast struck down all who be my adversaries; thou hast broken all the teeth of the sinners.) 3:8 Health is of the Lord; and thy blessing is on thy people. (Victory is from the Lord/Salvation, or deliverance , is from the Lord; and thy blessing is upon thy people.)
