Psalms Chapter 3
A Psalm of David When He Fled from His Son Absalom
1 LORD, I have so many enemies;
so many are working against me;
2so many are saying,
“God’s not going to help him.” Ps 3:1-2
3 But you’re my shield, LORD, my glory,
the One that holds my head up.
4 When I call out to you,
you answer from your holy mountain.
5 I lie down to sleep and wake up again
because you sustain me.
6 I won’t be afraid if 10,000 oppose me.
7 Arise, LORD; rescue me.
Slap my enemies;
knock out their teeth.
8 Victory comes from you;
bless your people! Ps 3:3-8
