<Psalms 3

[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.

[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.
