Deliver Me, O LORD! Ps 3:1–8
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. O LORD, how my foes have increased! How many rise up against me!
2 Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selahᵃ
3 But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
4 To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah
5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
6 I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.
7 Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
