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