<Psalms 3

[1] Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

[2] Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah.

[3] But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

[4] I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.

[5] I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.

[6] I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.

[7] Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

[8] Salvation belongs to Yahweh. Your blessing be on your people. Selah.
