Psalm 3

New International Version

from Biblica

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

1 Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! 

2 Many are saying of me, ‘God will not deliver him.’ 

3 But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. 

4 I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain. 

5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. 

6 I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side. 

7 Arise, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. 

8 From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.

Psalm 3

La Bible du Semeur

from Biblica

Le salut vient de l’Eternel

1 Psaume de David, quand il fuyait devant son fils Absalom. (2Sa 15:13) 

2 O Eternel, ╵mes ennemis sont si nombreux! Oui, si nombreux mes adversaires ╵qui se sont dressés contre moi. 

3 Et si nombreux ceux qui prétendent qu’il n’y a plus aucun secours ╵pour moi auprès de Dieu. Pause 

4 Pourtant, ô Eternel, ╵tu es pour moi un bouclier ╵qui me protège. O toi ma gloire, ╵tu me feras marcher encore ╵la tête haute. 

5 A haute voix, je crie vers l’Eternel; de sa montagne sainte, ╵mon Dieu m’exaucera. Pause 

6 Quand je me couche, je m’endors; je me réveille ╵car l’Eternel est mon soutien. 

7 Je ne craindrai donc pas ╵ces multitudes qui sont postées autour de moi. 

8 Eternel, lève-toi! ╵Au secours, mon Dieu, sauve-moi! Tu gifles tous mes ennemis: tu casses les dents aux méchants. 

9 De l’Eternel vient le salut. O Eternel, fais reposer ╵ta bénédiction sur les tiens. Pause
