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.
YHWH, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' (Selah)
Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in Elohim. (Selah)
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
But thou, O YHWH, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 With my voice I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. (Selah)
I cried unto YHWH with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for YHWH sustained 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 people, that 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 YHWH; save me, O my Elohim: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. (Selah)
Salvation belongeth unto YHWH: thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
