3:1 [A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.] O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; 3:2 many are saying of my soul, there is no salvation for him in God. Selah 3:3 But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. 3:4 I cried aloud to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah 3:5 I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me. 3:6 I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around. 3:7 Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked. 3:8 Salvation belongs to the LORD; your blessing be on your people! Selah
