PSALM 3
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me! 2Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God#GodHebrew: Elohim Selah. 3But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah. 5I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me. 6I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about. 7Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God#GodHebrew: Elohim For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked. 8Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

Psalms 3
3
(Written by David when he was running from his son Absalom.)#2 S 15.13—17.22.
An early morning prayer
1I have a lot of enemies, LORD.
Many fight against 2me and say,
“God won't rescue you!”
3But you are my shield,
and you give me victory
and great honour.
4I pray to you, and you answer
from your sacred hill.
5I sleep and wake up refreshed
because you, LORD,
protect me.
6Ten thousand enemies attack
from every side,
but I am not afraid.
7Come and save me, LORD God!
Break my enemies' jaws
and shatter their teeth,
8because you protect
and bless your people.
