<Psalms 3

[1] O LORD, how my foes have increased! How many rise up against me!

[2] Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selah

[3] But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.

[4] To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah

[5] I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

[6] I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.

[7] Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

[8] Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
