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. LORD, how are mine adversaries increased! 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 thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cry to Jehovah with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
I cry unto the LORD with my voice, and he answereth 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 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 be afraid of ten thousands 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, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
