1The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.
Psalmus David, cum fugeret a facie Absalom filii sui.
2Why, O Lord, are they multipied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
Domine, quid multiplicati sunt qui tribulant me? Multi insurgunt adversum me;
3Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
multi dicunt animæ meæ: Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.
4But thou, O Lord, art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
Tu autem Domine, susceptor meus es, gloria mea, et exaltans caput meum.
5I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi; et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo.
6I have slept and have taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
Ego dormivi, et soporatus sum; et exsurrexi, quia Dominus suscepit me.
7I will not fear thousands of the people surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
Non timebo millia populi circumdantis me. Exsurge, Domine; salvum me fac, Deus meus.
8For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
Quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa; dentes peccatorum contrivisti.
9Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
Domini est salus; et super populum tuum benedictio tua.
