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
Morning Prayer of Trust in God.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1O Lord, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are rising up against me.
2Many are saying of my soul,
“There is no deliverance for him in God.” #Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interludeSelah.
3But You, O Lord, are a shield about me,
My glory, and the One who lifts my head.
4I was crying to the Lord with my voice,
And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.
5I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the Lord sustains me.
6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me round about.
7Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God!
For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek;
You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.
8Salvation belongs to the Lord;
Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah.
