Psalms 3
Morning Prayer of Trust in God.
1 LORD, how (C1)my enemies have increased!
Many are rising up against me.
2 Many are saying of my soul,
"There is no (C1)salvation for him in God." Selah
3 But You, LORD, are (C1)a shield around me,
My (C2)glory, and the One who (C3)lifts my head.
4 I was crying out to the LORD with my voice,
And He (C1)answered me from (C2)His holy (F1)mountain. Selah
5 (F1)I (C1)lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
6 I will (C1)not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have (C2)set themselves against me all around.
7 (C1)Arise, LORD; (C2)save me, my God!
For You (F1)have (C3)struck all my enemies on the (F2)cheek;
You (F3)have (C4)shattered the teeth of the wicked.
8 (F1)(C1)Salvation belongs to the LORD;
May Your (C2)blessing (F2)be upon Your people! Selah
