Psalms 3
1. <<A Psalm of David, when he fled * from Absalom his son.>> LORD, how are they increased * that trouble me! many are they that rise up * against me.
2. Many there be which say * of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3. But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up * of mine head.
4. I cried * unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard * me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5. I laid me down * and slept * ; I awaked * ; for the LORD sustained * me.
6. I will not be afraid * of ten thousands of people, that have set * themselves against me round about.
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.
8. Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
