Psalms 3

(2 Samuel 15:13–29)

A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.

1O LORD, how my foes have increased!How many rise up against me!2Many say of me,“God will not deliver him.”Selah13But You, O LORD, are a shield around me,my glory, and the One who lifts my head.4To the LORD I cry aloud,and He answers me from His holy mountain.Selah5I lie down and sleep;I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.6I will not fear the myriadsset against me on every side.

7Arise, O LORD!Save me, O my God!Strike all my enemies on the jaw;break the teeth of the wicked.8Salvation belongs to the LORD;may Your blessing be on Your people.Selah
