Tehillim (Psa) 3
3
1A psalm of David, when he fled from Avshalom his son:
2Adonai, how many enemies I have!
How countless are those attacking me;
3how countless those who say of me,
“There is no salvation for him in God.” (Selah)
4But you, Adonai, are a shield for me;
you are my glory, you lift my head high.
5With my voice I call out to Adonai,
and he answers me from his holy hill. (Selah)
6I lie down and sleep, then wake up again,
because Adonai sustains me.
7I am not afraid of the tens of thousands
set against me on every side.
8Rise up, Adonai!
Save me, my God!
For you slap all my enemies in the face,
you smash the teeth of the wicked.
9Victory comes from Adonai;
may your blessing rest on your people. (Selah)

Morning Prayer for Help#Ps 3 Hebrew title: A psalm by David, after he ran away from his son Absalom.#2 Sam 15.13—17.22
1I have so many enemies, LORD,
so many who turn against me!
2They talk about me and say,
“God will not help him.”
3But you, O LORD, are always my shield from danger;
you give me victory
and restore my courage.
4I call to the LORD for help,
and from his sacred hill#3.4 sacred hill: See 2.6. he answers me.
5I lie down and sleep,
and all night long the LORD protects me.
6I am not afraid of the thousands of enemies
who surround me on every side.
7Come, LORD! Save me, my God!
You punish all my enemies
and leave them powerless to harm me.
8Victory comes from the LORD —
may he bless his people.
