Psalm 3

Save Me, O My God

3A Psalm of David, ⁿwhen he fled from Absalom his son.

¹O Lord, ^ohow many are my foes!

Many are ^prising against me;

²many are saying of my soul,

^q“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah¹

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

my glory, and ^tthe lifter of my head.

⁴I ^ucried aloud to the Lord,

and he ^vanswered me from his ^wholy hill. Selah

⁵I ^xlay down and slept;

I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.

⁶I ^ywill not be afraid of many thousands of people

who have ^zset themselves against me all around.

^7aArise, O Lord!

Save me, O my God!

For you ^bstrike all my enemies on the cheek;

you ^cbreak the teeth of the wicked.

^8dSalvation belongs to the Lord;

your blessing be on your people! Selah
