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

Psalm 3
3
1 A Psalm of David. When he fled from the face of his son, Absalom.
2 Lord, why have those who trouble me been multiplied? Many rise up against me.
3 Many say to my soul, "There is no salvation for him in his God."
4 But you, Lord, are my supporter, my glory, and the one who raises up my head.
5 I have cried out to the Lord with my voice, and he has heard me from his holy mountain.
6 I have slept, and I have been stupefied. But I awakened because the Lord has taken me up.
7 I will not fear the thousands of people surrounding me. Rise up, Lord. Save me, my God.
8 For you have struck all those who oppose me without cause. You have broken the teeth of sinners.
9 Salvation is of the Lord, and your blessing is upon your people.
