Psalms 3
1 Jehovah, how my adversaries are increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!
2 Many there are who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. (Selah)
3 But thou, O Jehovah, are a shield about me, my glory and he who lifts up of my head.
But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 I cry to Jehovah with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. (Selah)
5 I laid down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people who have set themselves against me round about.
I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O Jehovah. Save me, O my God. For thou have smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone. Thou have broken the teeth of the wicked.
Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
