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

Psalms 3
3
A song of David written during the time he was running from his son Absalom.
1Lord, I have so many enemies.
So many people have turned against me.
2They say to themselves, “God will not rescue him!” Selah
3But you, Lord, protect me.
You bring me honor;
you give me hope.
4I will pray to the Lord,
and he will answer me from his holy mountain. Selah
5I can lie down to rest and know that I will wake up,
because the Lord covers and protects me.
6So I will not be afraid of my enemies,
even if thousands of them surround me.
7Lord, get up!#3:7 Lord, get up The people said this when they lifted the Box of the Agreement and took it into battle, showing that God was with them. See Num. 10:35-36.
My God, come rescue me!
If you hit my enemies on the cheek,
you will break all their teeth.
8Lord, the victory#3:8 victory Or “salvation.” is yours!
You are so good to your people. Selah
