Psalms 3

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.

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.
