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.

Psalms 3
3
A song of David written during the time he was running from his son Absalom.
1Lord, I have so many enemies.
So many people have turned against me.
2They say to themselves, “God will not rescue him!” Selah
3But you, Lord, protect me.
You bring me honor;
you give me hope.
4I will pray to the Lord,
and he will answer me from his holy mountain. Selah
5I can lie down to rest and know that I will wake up,
because the Lord covers and protects me.
6So I will not be afraid of my enemies,
even if thousands of them surround me.
7Lord, get up!#3:7 Lord, get up The people said this when they lifted the Box of the Agreement and took it into battle, showing that God was with them. See Num. 10:35-36.
My God, come rescue me!
If you hit my enemies on the cheek,
you will break all their teeth.
8Lord, the victory#3:8 victory Or “salvation.” is yours!
You are so good to your people. Selah
