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, in his fleeing from the face of Absalom his son.
1 Jehovah, how have my distresses multiplied! Many are rising up against me.
2Many are saying of my soul, ‘There is no salvation for him in God.’ Selah.
3And Thou, O Jehovah, [art] a shield for me, My honour, and lifter up of my head.
4My voice [is] unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from his holy hill, Selah.
5I — I have lain down, and I sleep, I have waked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
6I am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they have set against me.
7Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies [on] the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.
8Of Jehovah [is] this salvation; On Thy people [is] Thy blessing! Selah.
