Psalms 3

1O Lord , how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!

2Many are saying of me, "God will not deliver him." Selah

3But you are a shield around me, O Lord ; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.

4To the Lord I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah

5I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

6I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side.

7Arise, O Lord ! Deliver me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

8From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people. Selah
