Psalm 3

Save Me, O My God

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

1  O Lord, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
2  many are saying of my soul,
there is no salvation for him in God. Selah t

3  But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
4  I cried aloud to the Lord,
and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah

5  I lay down and slept;
I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
6  I will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.

7  Arise, O Lord!
Save me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you break the teeth of the wicked.

8  Salvation belongs to the Lord;
your blessing be on your people! Selah

Psalm 3

1 Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.

2 Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah

3 But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head.

4 I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. Selah

5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.

7 Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

8 Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. Selah
