New Century Version

Psalms 3

A Morning Prayer

David sang this when he ran away from his son Absalom.

1 Lord, I have many enemies!
    Many people have turned against me.
2 Many are saying about me,
    "God won't rescue him." Selah

3 But, Lord, you are my shield,
    my wonderful God who gives me courage.
4 I will pray to the Lord,
    and he will answer me from his holy mountain. Selah

5 I can lie down and go to sleep,
    and I will wake up again,
    because the Lord gives me strength.
6 Thousands of troops may surround me,
    but I am not afraid.

7 Lord, rise up!
    My God, come save me!
You have struck my enemies on the cheek;
    you have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 The Lord can save his people.
    Lord, bless your people. Selah
