Psalms 3
Jewish Publication Society of America Version (JPS1917)
1 (3-1) A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. (3-2) LORD, how many are mine adversaries become! Many are they that rise up against me.
2 (3-3) Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' Selah
3 (3-4) But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 (3-5) With my voice I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. Selah
5 (3-6) I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
6 (3-7) I am not afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 (3-8) Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 (3-9) Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. Selah
