Psalm 3
3:1 A psalm of David, written when he fled from his son Absalom. Lord, how numerous are my enemies! Many attack me. 3:2 Many say about me, “God will not deliver him.” (Selah) 3:3 But you, Lord, are a shield that protects me; you are my glory and the one who restores me. 3:4 To the Lord I cried out, and he answered me from his holy hill. (Selah) 3:5 I rested and slept; I awoke, for the Lord protects me. 3:6 I am not afraid of the multitude of people who attack me from all directions. 3:7 Rise up, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Yes, you will strike all my enemies on the jaw; you will break the teeth of the wicked. 3:8 The Lord delivers; you show favor to your people. (Selah)
