Psalms 3
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! 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 be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help 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 for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
But thou, O Jehovah, are a shield about me, my glory and he who lifts up of my head.
4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
I cry to Jehovah with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
I laid down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.
6 I will not be 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 bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
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 [is] upon thy people. (Selah)
Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
