< Psalms 3 >
1 Adonai, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no yishu'ah ·salvation· for him in God.” (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
3 But you, Adonai, are a shield around me, my kavod ·weighty glory·, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 I cry to Adonai with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
5 I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Adonai sustains me.
6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
7 Arise, Adonai! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Yishu'ah ·Salvation· belongs to Adonai. Your blessing be on your people. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
