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