Confidence in Troubled Times

A psalm of David when he fled from his son Absalom.

Psa 3:1

LORD, how my foes increase!

There are many who attack me.

Psa 3:2

Many say about me,

“There is no help for him in God.”Selah

Psa 3:3

But you, LORD, are a shield around me,

my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

Psa 3:4

I cry aloud to the LORD,

and he answers me from his holy mountain.Selah

Psa 3:5

I lie down and sleep;

I wake again because the LORD sustains me.

Psa 3:6

I will not be afraid of thousands of people

who have taken their stand against me on every side.

Psa 3:7

Rise up, LORD!

Save me, my God!

You strike all my enemies on the cheek;

you break the teeth of the wicked.

Psa 3:8

Salvation belongs to the LORD;

may your blessing be on your people.Selah
