Psalms 3
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.

Psalm 3
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1¶ Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise up against me.
2 There are many who 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 my head.
4¶ I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he answered me out of the mountain of his holiness. 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 jawbone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8Salvation belongs unto the Lord; thy blessing shall be upon thy people. Selah.
