Psalms 3
3
A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are those who rise up against me.
2Many there are who say of my soul,
“There is no help for him in God.”#3:2 The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “אֱלֹהִ֑ים” (Elohim). Selah.
3But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4I cry to Yahweh with my voice,
and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5I laid myself down and slept.
I awakened, for Yahweh sustains me.
6I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people
who have set themselves against me on every side.
7Arise, Yahweh!
Save me, my God!
For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone.
You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
May your blessing be on your people. Selah.

Psalm 3
Morning Prayer of Trust in God.
A Psalm of David. When he fled from Absalom his son.
1O Lord, how my enemies have increased!
Many are rising up against me.
2Many are saying of me,
“There is no help [no salvation] for him in God.” #3:2 Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interlude or may have some other unknown meaning; and so throughout.Selah.
3¶But You, O Lord, are a shield for me,
My glory [and my honor], and the One who lifts my head.
4With my voice I was crying to the Lord,
And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.
5I lay down and slept [safely];
I awakened, for the Lord sustains me.
6I will not be intimidated or afraid of the ten thousands
Who have set themselves against me all around.
7¶Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God!
For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek;
You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.
8Salvation belongs to the Lord;
May Your blessing be upon Your people. Selah.
