Psalm 3

Confidence in Troubled Times

A psalm of David when he fled from his son Absalom.(a)

1 Lord, how my foes increase!
There are many who attack me.(b)
2 Many say about me,
"There is no help for him in God."(c)Selah

3 But You, Lord, are a shield around me,(d)
my glory,(e) and the One who lifts up my head.(f)
4 I cry aloud to the Lord,
and He answers me from His holy mountain.(g)Selah

5 I lie down and sleep;
I wake again because the Lord sustains me.(h)
6 I am not afraid of the thousands of people
who have taken their stand against me on every side.(i)

7 Rise up, Lord!(j)
Save me, my God!
You strike all my enemies on the cheek;(k)
You break the teeth of the wicked.(l)
8 Salvation belongs to the Lord;(m)
may Your blessing be on Your people.(n)Selah
