Psalm 3:1–8

1  O Lord, ohow many are my foes!

Many are prising against me;

2  many are saying of my soul,

qthere is no salvation for him in God. Selah1

3  But you, O Lord, are ra shield sabout me,

my glory, and tthe lifter of my head.

4  I ucried aloud to the Lord,

and he vanswered me from his wholy hill. Selah

5  I xlay down and slept;

I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.

6  I ywill not be afraid of many thousands of people

who have zset themselves against me all around.

7  aArise, O Lord!

Save me, O my God!

For you bstrike all my enemies on the cheek;

you cbreak the teeth of the wicked.

8  dSalvation belongs to the Lord;

your blessing be on your people! Selah
