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.
1The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom#2 Kings 15..
2Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? Many are they who rise up against me.
3Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
4But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter-up of my head.
5I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
6I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
7I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
8For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
9Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
