Psalms 3

Psalm 3

Morning Prayer of Trust in God.

1O Lord, how my enemies have increased! Many are rising up against me.

2Many are saying of me, “There is no help [no salvation] for him in God.” Selah.

3But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory [and my honor], and the One who lifts my head.

4With my voice I was crying to the Lord, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.

5I lay down and slept [safely]; I awakened, for the Lord sustains me.

6I will not be intimidated or afraid of the ten thousands Who have set themselves against me all around.

7Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.

8Salvation belongs to the Lord; May Your blessing be upon Your people. Selah.
