Psalm 3

 

Psalm 3

 

¹ LORD, how many are my foes!

How many rise up against me!

 

² Many are saying of me,

“God will not deliver him.”

 

³ But you, LORD, are a shield around me,

my glory, the One who lifts my head high.

 

⁴ I call out to the LORD,

and he answers me from his holy mountain.

 

⁵ I lie down and sleep;

I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.

 

⁶ I will not fear though tens of thousands

assail me on every side.

 

⁷ Arise, LORD!

Deliver me, my God!

Strike all my enemies on the jaw;

break the teeth of the wicked.

 

⁸ From the LORD comes deliverance.

May your blessing be on your people.
