< Psalms 3 >
1 Jehovah, how my adversaries are increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are 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 there be which say of my soul, There is no help 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 you, O LORD, are a shield for 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)
I cried to the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 I laid down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people who have set themselves against me round about.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of 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, O LORD; save me, O my God: for you have smitten all my enemies on the cheek bone; you have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
Salvation belongs to the LORD: your blessing is on your people. (Selah)
