PSALM 3
A Psalm of David, when he fled from
Absalom his son.
1 LORD,
how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up
against me. 2 Many there be which say of my soul, There
is no help for him in God. Selah. 3 But thou, O LORD, art
a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4I cried
unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. 5
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. 6
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves
against me round about. 7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for
thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken
the teeth of the ungodly. 8 Salvation belongeth unto the
LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
