Psalm 3

~~~~~~

A Psalm of David

~~~

when he fled from Absalom his son

~~~~~~

Lord, how are they increased that trouble me!

Many are they that rise up against me.

Many there be which say of my soul,

“There is no help for him in God.”

                                                        Selah

But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me;

My glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

I cried unto the Lord with my voice,

And He heard me from His holy hill.

                                                        Selah

I laid me down and slept;

I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people

That have set themselves against me all around.

For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone;

You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

Salvation belongs to the Lord.

Your blessing is upon Your people.

                                                        Selah
