The Lord Helps His Troubled People
A Psalm of David #2 Sam. 15:13–17when he fled from Absalom his son.
1Lord, how they have increased who trouble me!
Many are they who rise up against me.
2Many are they who say of me,
“There is no help for him in God.”
Selah
3But You, O Lord, are #Ps. 5:12; 28:7a shield for me,
My glory and #Ps. 9:13; 27:6the One who lifts up my head.
4I cried to the Lord with my voice,
And #Ps. 4:3; 34:4He heard me from His #Ps. 2:6; 15:1; 43:3holy hill.
Selah
5#Lev. 26:6; Ps. 4:8; Prov. 3:24I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.
6#Ps. 23:4; 27:3I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me all around.
7Arise, O Lord;
Save me, O my God!
#Job 16:10For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone;
You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8#Ps. 28:8; 35:3; (Is. 43:11)Salvation belongs to the Lord.
Your blessing is upon Your people.
Selah

Psalms 3
3
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1 LORD, how are mine adversaries increased!
Many are they that rise up against me.
2Many there be which say of my soul,
There is no help for him in God. Selah
3But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me;
My glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4I cry unto the LORD with my voice,
And he answereth me out of his holy hill. Selah
5I laid me down and slept;
I awaked; for the LORD sustaineth me.
6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people,
That have set themselves against me round about.
7Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God:
For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone;
Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8Salvation belongeth unto the LORD:
Thy blessing be upon thy people. Selah
