Psalms 3

(Written by David when he was running from his son Absalom.)

An Early Morning Prayer

1 I have a lot of enemies, Lord.
Many fight against me and say,
    "God won't rescue you!"

3 But you are my shield,
    and you give me victory
    and great honor.
4 I pray to you, and you answer
    from your sacred hill.

5 I sleep and wake up refreshed
    because you, Lord,
    protect me.
6 Ten thousand enemies attack
from every side,
    but I am not afraid.

7 Come and save me, Lord God!
Break my enemies' jaws
    and shatter their teeth,
8     because you protect
    and bless your people.
