Psalm 3


The Lord Helps His Troubled People

A Psalm of David awhen he fled from Absalom his son.

Lord, how they have increased who trouble me!
Many are they who rise up against me.

2
Many are they who say of me,
There is no help for him in God.”
Selah


3
But You, O Lord, are aa shield 1for me,
My glory and bthe One who lifts up my head.

4
I cried to the Lord with my voice,
And aHe heard me from His bholy hill.
Selah


5
aI lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.

6
aI will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me all around.


7
Arise, O Lord;
Save me, O my God!
aFor You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone;
You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8
aSalvation belongs to the Lord.
Your blessing is upon Your people.
Selah
