Psalms 3

   |   

Morning Prayer of Trust in God.

A Psalm of David, when [a]he fled from Absalom his son.

1 O Lord, how (a)my adversaries have increased!
Many are rising up against me.
2 Many are saying [b]of my soul,
"There is no [c](b)deliverance for him in God." [d]Selah.

3 But You, O Lord, are (c)a shield about me,
My (d)glory, and the One who (e)lifts my head.
4 I was crying to the Lord with my voice,
And He (f)answered me from (g)His holy [e]mountain. Selah.
5 [f]I (h)lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the Lord sustains me.
6 I will (i)not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have (j)set themselves against me round about.

7 (k)Arise, O Lord; (l)save me, O my God!
For You [g]have (m)smitten all my enemies on the [h]cheek;
You [i]have (n)shattered the teeth of the wicked.
8 [j](o)Salvation belongs to the Lord;
Your (p)blessing [k]be upon Your people! Selah.
