3But you, O Lord, are #Ps. 28:7; 84:9; 119:114; Gen. 15:1 a shield #Job 1:10 about me,

and he #Ps. 34:4; 60:5; 108:6; [Ps. 6:8; 34:6] answered me from his #See Ps. 2:6holy hill. Selah
5I #Ps. 4:8; [Lev. 26:6; Job 11:18, 19; Prov. 3:24]lay down and slept;
I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
6I #[Ps. 23:4; 27:3] will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have #Isa. 22:7; [1 Kgs. 20:12]set themselves against me all around.
