Psalm 3 (English Standard Version)
Save Me, O My God
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
3 O Lord, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
2
many are saying of my soul,
“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah
3
But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
4
I cried aloud to the Lord,
and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah
5
I lay down and slept;
I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
6
I will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.
7
Arise, O Lord!
Save me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you break the teeth of the wicked.
8
Salvation belongs to the Lord;
your blessing be on your people! Selah
