Psalms Chapter 3

Domine, quid multiplicati.

The prophet’s danger and delivery from his son Absalom: mystically, the passion and resurrection of Christ.

3:1. The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.

3:2. Why, O Lord, are they multipied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.

3:3. Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
