Psalms 3
3
(Written by David when he was running from his son Absalom.)#2 S 15.13—17.22.
An early morning prayer
1I have a lot of enemies, LORD.
Many fight against 2me and say,
“God won't rescue you!”
3But you are my shield,
and you give me victory
and great honour.
4I pray to you, and you answer
from your sacred hill.
5I sleep and wake up refreshed
because you, LORD,
protect me.
6Ten thousand enemies attack
from every side,
but I am not afraid.
7Come and save me, LORD God!
Break my enemies' jaws
and shatter their teeth,
8because you protect
and bless your people.

Psalms 3
3
Trust in God under Adversity
A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.
1O Lord, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
2many are saying to me,
“There is no help for you#3.2 Syr: Heb him in God.” Selah
3But you, O Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4I cry aloud to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah
5I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.
6I am not afraid of ten thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.
7Rise up, O Lord!
Deliver me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you break the teeth of the wicked.
8Deliverance belongs to the Lord;
may your blessing be on your people! Selah
