Tehillim (Psalms) 3
3
1O יהוה, how my adversaries have increased! Many rising up against me.
2Many are saying of me, “There is no deliverance for him in Elohim.” Selah.
3But You, O יהוה, are a shield for me, My esteem, and the One lifting up my head.
4I cried to יהוה with my voice, And He heard me from His set-apart mountain. Selah.
5I, I laid down and slept; I awoke, for יהוה sustained me.
6I am not afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me all around.
7Arise, O יהוה; Save me, O my Elohim! Because You have stricken all my enemies on the cheek; You have broken the teeth of the wrong.
8Deliverance belongs to יהוה. Your blessing is on Your people. Selah.

PSALM 3
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1O Lord, how are my foes increas'd?
against me many rise.
2Many say of my soul, For him
in God no succour lies.
3Yet thou my shield and glory art,
th' uplifter of mine head.
4I cry'd, and, from his holy hill,
the Lord me answer made.
5I laid me down and slept; I wak'd;
for God sustained me.
6I will not fear though thousands ten
set round against me be.
7Arise, O Lord; save me, my God;
for thou my foes hast stroke
All on the cheek-bone, and the teeth
of wicked men hast broke.
8Salvation doth appertain
unto the Lord alone:
Thy blessing, Lord, for evermore
thy people is upon.
