Psalm 3a

A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.z

1Lord, how many are my foes!

How many rise up against me!

2Many are saying of me,

“God will not deliver him.a”b

3But you, Lord, are a shieldb around me,

my glory, the One who lifts my head high.c

4I call out to the Lord,d

and he answers me from his holy mountain.e

5I lie down and sleep;f

I wake again,g because the Lord sustains me.

6I will not fearh though tens of thousands

assail me on every side.i

7Arise,j Lord!

Deliver me,k my God!

Strikel all my enemies on the jaw;

break the teethm of the wicked.

8From the Lord comes deliverance.n

May your blessingo be on your people.
