Psalms
Chapter 3
1 1 2 A psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.
达味诗歌，作于逃避其子阿贝沙隆时。
2 How many are my foes, LORD! How many rise against me!
上主，迫害我的人，不可胜数！攻击我的人，成群结队！
3 3 How many say of me, ＂God will not save that one.＂ Selah
很多人论及我说：＂天主绝不拯救他！＂
4 But you, LORD, are a shield around me; my glory, you keep my head high.
但是你，上主，是围护我的盾牌，是我的荣耀，常使我首昂头抬。
5 Whenever I cried out to the LORD, I was answered from the holy mountain. Selah
我一向上主大声呼号，他便从圣山上俯听我。
6 Whenever I lay down and slept, the LORD preserved me to rise again.
我躺下安睡，我又醒了，因为上主常扶持着我。
7 I do not fear, then, thousands of people arrayed against me on every side.
虽有千万人向我围攻，我一丝一毫也不惊恐。
8 Arise, LORD! Save me, my God! You will shatter the jaws of all my foes; you will break the teeth of the wicked.
上主，请你兴起奋发；我的天主，求你救拔，因为你击破了我仇敌的腮颊，你打破了众恶人的门牙。
9 Safety comes from the LORD! Your blessing for your people! Selah
救援之恩完全属于上主；愿你的百姓受你的降福！

Footnotes（注解）
1 [Psalm 3] An individual lament complaining of enemies who deny that God will come to the rescue (Psalm 3:2-3). Despite such taunts the psalmist hopes for God's protection even in sleep (Psalm 3:4-7). The psalm prays for an end to the enemies' power to speak maliciously (Psalm 3:8) and closes peacefully with an expression of trust (Psalm 3:8)[9].
2 [1] The superscription, added later, relates the psalm to an incident in the life of David.
3 [3,5,9] Selah: the term is generally considered a direction to the cantor or musicians but its exact meaning is not known. It occurs 71 times in 39 psalms.
