Psalm 3


Morning Prayer of Trust in God.

A Psalm of David, when 1he fled from Absalom his son.

O Lord, how amy adversaries have increased!
Many are rising up against me.

2
Many are saying 1of my soul,
“There is no 2adeliverance for him in God.” 3Selah.


3
But You, O Lord, are aa shield about me,
My bglory, and the One who clifts my head.

4
I was crying to the Lord with my voice,
And He aanswered me from bHis holy 1mountain. Selah.

5
1I alay down and slept;
I awoke, for the Lord sustains me.

6
I will anot be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have bset themselves against me round about.


7
aArise, O Lord; bsave me, O my God!
For You 1have csmitten all my enemies on the 2cheek;
You 3have dshattered the teeth of the wicked.

8
1aSalvation belongs to the Lord;
Your bblessing 2be upon Your people! Selah.
