1Psalm 3 Threatened but Trusting - A psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. 2I - How many are my foes, LORD! How many rise against me! 3How many say of me, “There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah 4But you, LORD, are a shield around me; my glory, you keep my head high. 5II - With my own voice I will call out to the LORD, and he will answer me from his holy mountain. Selah 6I lie down and I fall asleep, [and] I will wake up, for the LORD sustains me. 7I do not fear, then, thousands of people arrayed against me on every side. 8III - Arise, LORD! Save me, my God! For you strike the cheekbone of all my foes; you break the teeth of the wicked. 9Salvation is from the LORD! May your blessing be upon your people! Selah
