Psalms 3
1 [A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.] LORD, how my adversaries have increased. Many rise up against me.
Jehovah, how my adversaries are increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Many there are who 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 you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
But thou, O Jehovah, are a shield about me, my glory and he who lifts up of my head.
4 I cried out to the LORD with my voice, and he answered me from his holy mountain. (Selah)
I cry to Jehovah with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 I lay down and slept. I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
I laid down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.
6 I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people who have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, LORD. Save me, my God. For you slap all my enemies in the face. You break 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 belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon your people. (Selah)
Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
