1 Salmo de David, cuando huía de adelante de Absalom su hijo. ­OH Jehová, cuánto se han multiplicado mis enemigos! Muchos se levantan contra mí.

2 Muchos dicen de mi vida: No hay para él salud en Dios. (Selah.)

3 Mas tú, Jehová, eres escudo alrededor de mí: Mi gloria, y el que ensalza mi cabeza.

4 Con mi voz clamé á Jehová, Y él me respondió desde el monte de su santidad. (Selah.)

5 Yo me acosté, y dormí, Y desperté; porque Jehová me sostuvo.

6 No temeré de diez millares de pueblos, Que pusieren cerco contra mí.

7 Levántate, Jehová; sálvame, Dios mío: Porque tú heriste á todos mis enemigos en la quijada; Los dientes de los malos quebrantaste.

8 De Jehová es la salud: Sobre tu pueblo será tu bendición. (Selah.)

1 A Psalm. Of David. When he went in flight from Absalom his son.

2 \3:1\Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me.

3 \3:2\Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah.)

4 \3:3\But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.

5 \3:4\I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah.)

6 \3:5\I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support.

7 \3:6\I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me.

8 \3:7\Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you.

9 \3:8\Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah.)
