Psalm 3
A psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.
1 LORD, I have so many enemies!
So many are standing against me.
2So many are talking about me:
“Even God won’t help him.” Selah#3.2 Heb uncertain; probably a musical term
3But you, LORD, are my shield!
You are my glory!
You are the one who restores me.
4I cry out loud to the LORD,
and he answers me from his holy mountain. Selah
5I lie down, sleep, and wake up
because the LORD helps me.
6I won’t be afraid of thousands of people
surrounding me on all sides.
7Stand up, LORD!
Save me, my God!
In fact, hit all my enemies on the jaw;
shatter the teeth of the wicked!
8Rescue comes from the LORD!
May your blessing be on your people! Selah

Psalm 3
3
A Morning Prayer of Trust in God
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Ab´salom his son.#2 Sam 15.13—17.22.
1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me!
Many are they that rise up against me.
2Many there be which say of my soul,
There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4I cried unto the Lord with my voice,
and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5I laid me down and slept;
I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people,
that have set themselves against me round about.
7Arise, O Lord;
save me, O my God:
for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone;
thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8Salvation belongeth unto the Lord:
thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
