A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
3–SANO
1 Oʻgʻli Absalomdan qochib ketgandan keyin Dovudning aytgan sanosi.
2 Ey Egam! Gʻanimlarim naqadar koʻpdir!
Menga qarshi qoʻzgʻalganlar qanchalar koʻpdir!
3 Koʻplar men haqimda:
“Xudodan unga najot yoʻq”, deb aytadilar.
4 Ey Egam, Mening qalqonimsan!
Shuhratim Sensan!
Sen boshimni yuksaltirasan.

5 Egamizdan madad soʻrab qilaman faryod,
Muqaddas tepaligidan U menga beradi javob.
6 Egamiz meni himoya etgani uchun
Yotib uxlab, yana uygʻonaman.
7 Har tomondan meni qurshab turgan
Oʻn minglarcha gʻanimlarimdan qoʻrqmasman.

8 Qoʻzgʻalgin, ey Egam!
Najot ber, ey Xudoyim!
Hamma gʻanimlarimning yuzlariga urasan,
Qabihlarning tishlarini sindirasan.
9 Ey Egam! Najot Sendan keladi!
Barakalaring xalqingga kelsin!
