Psa 3:1A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;
Psa 3:2many are saying of me, there is no help for him in God. Selah
Psa 3:3But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.
Psa 3:4I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah
Psa 3:5I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
Psa 3:6I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about.
Psa 3:7Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! For thou dost smite all my enemies on the cheek, thou dost break the teeth of the wicked.
Psa 3:8Deliverance belongs to the LORD; thy blessing be upon thy people! Selah
