Psalms 3:1-2

Psalm 3

A psalm of David, written when he fled from his son Absalom.

Many attack me.

“God will not deliver him.” (Selah)

Psalms 43:1-2

Psalm 43

43:1 Vindicate me, O God!

Fight for me against an ungodly nation!

Deliver me from deceitful and evil men!

43:2 For you are the God who shelters me.

Why do you reject me?

Why must I walk around mourning

because my enemies oppress me?
