Psalms 3
3
Magen David
1A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.
2Adonai, how many are my foes! Many are rising up against me!
3Many are saying to my soul: “There is no deliverance for him in God.” Selah
4But You, Adonai, are a shield around me, my glory and the lifter of my head.
5I cry out to Adonai with my voice, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah
6I lie down and sleep. I awake—for Adonai sustains me.
7I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people all around who have taken their stand against me.
8Arise, Adonai! Deliver me, my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek. You shatter the teeth of the wicked.
9Deliverance belongs to Adonai. Let Your blessing be on Your people. Selah

Psalms 3
3
A song of David written during the time he was running from his son Absalom.
1Lord, I have so many enemies.
So many people have turned against me.
2They say to themselves, “God will not rescue him!” Selah
3But you, Lord, protect me.
You bring me honor;
you give me hope.
4I will pray to the Lord,
and he will answer me from his holy mountain. Selah
5I can lie down to rest and know that I will wake up,
because the Lord covers and protects me.
6So I will not be afraid of my enemies,
even if thousands of them surround me.
7Lord, get up!#3:7 Lord, get up The people said this when they lifted the Box of the Agreement and took it into battle, showing that God was with them. See Num. 10:35-36.
My God, come rescue me!
If you hit my enemies on the cheek,
you will break all their teeth.
8Lord, the victory#3:8 victory Or “salvation.” is yours!
You are so good to your people. Selah
