Psalmus David, cum fugeret a facie Absalom filii sui.

Domine, quid multiplicati sunt qui tribulant me? Multi insurgunt adversum me;

multi dicunt animae meae: Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.

Tu autem Domine, susceptor meus es, gloria mea, et exaltans caput meum.

Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi; et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo.

Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum; et exsurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me.

Non timebo millia populi circumdantis me. Exsurge, Domine; salvum me fac, Deus meus.

Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa; dentes peccatorum contrivisti.

Domini est salus; et super populum tuum benedictio tua.

In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David.

Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus justitiae meae, in tribulatione dilatasti mihi. Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam.

Filii hominum, usquequo gravi corde? ut quid diligitis vanitatem, et quaeritis mendacium?

Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum; Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.

Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quae dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.

Sacrificate sacrificium justitiae, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?

Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Domine: dedisti laetitiam in corde meo.

A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui, multiplicati sunt.

In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;

10 quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.

Psalm 3[a]

A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.(A)

Lord, how many are my foes!
    How many rise up against me!
Many are saying of me,
    “God will not deliver him.(B)[b]

But you, Lord, are a shield(C) around me,
    my glory, the One who lifts my head high.(D)
I call out to the Lord,(E)
    and he answers me from his holy mountain.(F)

I lie down and sleep;(G)
    I wake again,(H) because the Lord sustains me.
I will not fear(I) though tens of thousands
    assail me on every side.(J)

Arise,(K) Lord!
    Deliver me,(L) my God!
Strike(M) all my enemies on the jaw;
    break the teeth(N) of the wicked.

From the Lord comes deliverance.(O)
    May your blessing(P) be on your people.

Psalm 4[c]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David.

Answer me(Q) when I call to you,
    my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;(R)
    have mercy(S) on me and hear my prayer.(T)

How long will you people turn my glory(U) into shame?(V)
    How long will you love delusions and seek false gods[d]?[e](W)
Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant(X) for himself;
    the Lord hears(Y) when I call to him.

Tremble and[f] do not sin;(Z)
    when you are on your beds,(AA)
    search your hearts and be silent.
Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
    and trust in the Lord.(AB)

Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
    Let the light of your face shine on us.(AC)
Fill my heart(AD) with joy(AE)
    when their grain and new wine(AF) abound.

In peace(AG) I will lie down and sleep,(AH)
    for you alone, Lord,
    make me dwell in safety.(AI)
