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.

PSALM 3.
1The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom#2 Kings 15..
2Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? Many are they who rise up against me.
3Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
4But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter-up of my head.
5I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
6I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
7I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
8For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
9Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
