Psalm 3

PSALM 3

Morning Prayer of Trust in God.

A Psalm of David, when ^†he fled from Absalom his son.

¹O Lord, how ^amy adversaries have increased!

Many are rising up against me.

²Many are saying ¹of my soul,

“There is no ^2adeliverance for him in God.”

³Selah.

³But You, O Lord, are ^aa shield about me,

My ^bglory, and the One who ^clifts my head.

⁴I was crying to the Lord with my voice,

And He ^aanswered me from ^bHis holy ¹mountain.

Selah.

⁵¹I ^alay down and slept;

I awoke, for the Lord sustains me.

⁶I will ^anot be afraid of ten thousands of people

Who have ^bset themselves against me round about.

^7aArise, O Lord; ^bsave me, O my God!

For You ¹have ^csmitten all my enemies on the ²cheek;

You ³have ^dshattered the teeth of the wicked.

^81aSalvation belongs to the Lord;

Your ^bblessing ²be upon Your people!

Selah.
