Psalms 3
1 YHWH, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
A Psalme of Dauid, when he fled from his sonne Absalom. Lord, howe are mine aduersaries increased? howe many rise against me?
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in Elohim. (Selah)
Many say to my soule, There is no helpe for him in God. (Selah)
3 But thou, O YHWH, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
But thou Lord art a buckler for me: my glory, and the lifter vp of mine head.
4 I cried unto YHWH with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
I did call vnto the Lord with my voyce, and he heard me out of his holy mountaine. (Selah)
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for YHWH sustained me.
I layed me downe and slept, and rose vp againe: for the Lord susteined me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
I will not be afrayde for ten thousand of the people, that should beset me round about.
7 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.
O Lord, arise: helpe me, my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies vpon the cheeke bone: thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation belongeth unto YHWH: thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
Saluation belongeth vnto the Lord, and thy blessing is vpon thy people. (Selah)
