3:1 [A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son]. O Lord, how my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me. 3:2 Many are saying of my soul, "There is no deliverance for him in God." Selah. 3:3 But Thou, O LORD, art a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head. 3:4 I was crying to the LORD with my voice, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah. 3:5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustains me. 3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about. 3:7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God! For Thou hast smitten all my enemies on the cheek; Thou hast shattered the teeth of the wicked. 3:8 Salvation belongs to the LORD; Thy blessing [be] upon Thy people! Selah. 3:9
