| A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. | Morning Prayer. Psalm 3 | מִזְמֹור לְדָוִד בְּבָרְחֹו מִפְּנֵי אַבְשָׁלֹום בְּנֹו׃ | |
| 3 1 | O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; | יְהוָה מָה־רַבּוּ צָרָי רַבִּים קָמִים עָלָי׃ | |
| 2 | many are saying of me, there is no help for him in God. Selah | רַבִּים אֹמְרִים לְנַפְשִׁי אֵין יְשׁוּעָתָה לֹּו בֵאלֹהִים סֶלָה׃ | |
| 3 | But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. | וְאַתָּה יְהוָה מָגֵן בַּעֲדִי כְּבֹודִי וּמֵרִים רֹאשִׁי׃ | |
| 4 | I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah | קֹולִי אֶל־יְהוָה אֶקְרָא וַיַּעֲנֵנִי מֵהַר קָדְשֹׁו סֶלָה׃ | |
| 5 | I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me. | אֲנִי שָׁכַבְתִּי וָאִישָׁנָה הֱקִיצֹותִי כִּי יְהוָה יִסְמְכֵנִי׃ | |
| 6 | I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about. | לֹא־אִירָא מֵרִבְבֹות עָם אֲשֶׁר סָבִיב שָׁתוּ עָלָי׃ | |
| 7 | Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! For thou dost smite all my enemies on the cheek, thou dost break the teeth of the wicked. | קוּמָה יְהוָה הֹושִׁיעֵנִי אֱלֹהַי כִּי־הִכִּיתָ אֶת־כָּל־אֹיְבַי לֶחִי שִׁנֵּי רְשָׁעִים שִׁבַּרְתָּ׃ | |
| 8 | Deliverance belongs to the Lord; thy blessing be upon thy people! | לַיהוָה הַיְשׁוּעָה עַל־עַמְּךָ בִרְכָתֶךָ סֶּלָה׃ | |
