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 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
