Are you taking a class in Spanish and you have to translate something? If so I would think that the easiest would be Psalm 148 the first 8 verses. It is also very beautiful so memorizing it would serve you well for years to come. Here is one translation:
Praise the Lord from the heavens
Praise Him in the heights
Praise Him all his angels
praise Him all his host
Praise Him, sun and moon,
praise Him, shining stars,
praise him, highest heavens,
and the waters above the heavens.
Let them praise the name of the Lord,
He commanded; they were made,
He fixed them for ever,
gave a law which shall not pass away.
Praise the Lord from the earth,
sea creatures and all oceans,
fire and hail, snow and mist,
stormy winds that obey his word;
that is the first 8.

"Jesus wept." - John 11:35
Down below are all in 1st Thessalonians 5
16 Rejoice always.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.
19 Don't quench the Spirit.
20 Don't despise prophesies.
21 Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
22 Abstain from every form of evil.
23 May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.
25 Brothers, pray for us.
26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
27 I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.

The bible has many verses, some short and others long. Find verses that mean something to you.
For example, Matt 6:9-5 is the Lord's prayer. You already have noted the Psalm 3, but Psalm 23 is another useful Psalm.
Try and find something that you like in English and learn to say them in Spanish
Matt 6: 9"Ustedes deben orar así: "'Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo, santificado sea tu nombre,
10venga tu reino, hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo.
11Danos hoy nuestro pan cotidiano.*
12Perdónanos nuestras deudas, como también nosotros hemos perdonado a nuestros deudores.
13Y no nos dejes caer en tentación, sino líbranos del maligno.'*
14"Porque si perdonan a otros sus ofensas, también los perdonará a ustedes su Padre celestial.
15Pero si no perdonan a otros sus ofensas, tampoco su Padre les perdonará a ustedes las suyas.
Salmos 23
Salmo de David.
1 El Señor es mi *pastor, nada me falta;
2 en verdes pastos me hace descansar.
Junto a tranquilas aguas me conduce;
3 me infunde nuevas *fuerzas.
Me guía por sendas de *justicia
por amor a su *nombre.
4 Aun si voy por valles tenebrosos,
no temo peligro alguno
porque tú estás a mi lado;
tu vara de pastor me reconforta.
5 Dispones ante mí un banquete
en presencia de mis enemigos.
Has ungido con perfume mi cabeza;
has llenado mi copa a rebosar.
6 La bondad y el amor me seguirán
todos los días de mi vida;
Good luck.
