Psalms 3
1 A Psalme of Dauid, when he fled from his sonne Absalom. Lord, howe are mine aduersaries increased? howe many rise against me?
Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many say to my soule, There is no helpe for him in God. (Selah)
Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
3 But thou Lord art a buckler for me: my glory, and the lifter vp of mine head.
But you, O LORD, are a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I did call vnto the Lord with my voyce, and he heard me out of his holy mountaine. (Selah)
I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 I layed me downe and slept, and rose vp againe: for the Lord susteined me.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afrayde for ten thousand of the people, that should beset me round about.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 O Lord, arise: helpe me, my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies vpon the cheeke bone: thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for you have smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; you have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Saluation belongeth vnto the Lord, and thy blessing is vpon thy people. (Selah)
Salvation belongs unto the LORD: your blessing is upon your people. (Selah)
