Psalm 3
A psalm by David when he fled from his son Absalom.
1O Lord, look how my enemies have increased!
Many are attacking me.
2Many are saying about me,
“Even with God ⌞on his side⌟,
he won’t be victorious.” Selah
3But you, O Lord, are a shield that surrounds me.
You are my glory.
You hold my head high.
4I call aloud to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy mountain. Selah
5I lie down and sleep.
I wake up again because the Lord continues to support me.
6I am not afraid of the tens of thousands
who have taken positions against me on all sides.
7Arise, O Lord!
Save me, O my God!
You have slapped all my enemies in the face.
You have smashed the teeth of wicked people.
8Victory belongs to the Lord!
May your blessing rest on your people. Selah

Psalms 3
3
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased!
Many are they that rise up against me.
2Many there are that say of my soul,
There is no help for him in God. [Selah
3But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me;
My glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4I cry unto Jehovah with my voice,
And he answereth me out of his holy hill. [Selah
5I laid me down and slept;
I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.
6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people
That have set themselves against me round about.
7Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God:
For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone;
Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah:
Thy blessing be upon thy people. [Selah
