<Psalms 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
