Jehova, quam multi sunt hostes mei
=============================

Jehova, quam multi sunt hostes mei,
quam multi insurgunt contra me.
Quam multi dicunt de anima mea,
non est ulla salus isti in Deo plane.
At tu, Jehova, clypeus est circa me:
Gloria mea, et extollens caput meum.
Voce mea ad Jehovam clamanti,
respondit mihi e monte sanctitatis suae maxime.
Ego cubui et dormivi, ego expergefeci me,
quia Jehova sustentat me.
Non timebo a myriadibus populi,
quas circumdisposuerint metatores contra me.
Surge, surge Jehova, fac salvum me, Deus mi;
qui percussisti omnes inimicos meos maxilliam,
dentes improborum confregisti.
Jehova est salus super populum tuum,
sit benedictio tua maxime.

Lord, how are they increased that trouble me.
Many are they that rise up against me.
Many there be which say of my soul,
There is no help for him in God.
But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
I cried unto the Lord with my voice,
and he heard me out of his holy hill.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked;
for the Lord sustained me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people,
that have set themselves against me round about.
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.
Salvation belongeth unto the Lord:
thy blessing is upon thy people.

Psalm 3 (Paraphrase)
