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

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.
