(Written by David when he was running from his son Absalom.)
An Early Morning Prayer
1 I have a lot of enemies, Lord.
Many fight against 2 me and say,
“God won't rescue you!”
3 But you are my shield,
and you give me victory
and great honor.
4 I pray to you, and you answer
from your sacred hill.
5 I sleep and wake up refreshed
because you, Lord,
protect me.
6 Ten thousand enemies attack
from every side,
but I am not afraid.
7 Come and save me, Lord God!
Break my enemies' jaws
and shatter their teeth,
8 because you protect
and bless your people.

1 Dāvida psalms , tam bēgot no sava dēla Abšāloma.
2 Kungs, cik man daudz naidnieku –
daudz to, kas ceļas pret mani!
3 Daudzi saka par mani:
nebūs viņam glābiņa pie Dieva! –
4 Bet tu, Kungs, esi mans vairogs,
mans gods, tu cel mani .
5 Skaļā balsī es saucu Kungu,
un viņš man atbild no sava svētā kalna.
6 Es liekos gulēt un aizmiegu,
mostos, jo Kungs mani stiprina.
7 Nebīšos pat desmitiem tūkstošu,
kas stāj visapkārt pret mani.
8 Jel celies, Kungs,
glāb mani, mans Dievs!
Tu siti visus manus naidniekus vaigā,
ļaundaru zobus satrieci!
9 Glābiņš – no Kunga!
Tavai tautai – tava svētība!
