Psalms 3

World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible

3:1

LORD, how my adversaries have increased!

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 are who say of my soul,

Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.”

3:3

But you, LORD, are a shield around me,

But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.

3:4

I cry to the LORD with my voice,

To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah

3:5

I laid myself down and slept.

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

3:6

I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people

I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.

3:7

Arise, LORD!

Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

3:8

Salvation belongs to the LORD.

Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
