Psalms 3

King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible

3:1
Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. O LORD, how my foes have increased! How many rise up against me!
3:2
Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selah (note: Selah or Interlude is probably a musical or literary term; here and throughout the Psalms.)
3:3
But thou, O Lord, art a shield for (note: Or, about) me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
3:4
I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah
3:5
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
3:6
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.
3:7
Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
3:8
Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
