<< Psalm 3 >>
GOD'S WORD ® Translation |  |
1 A psalm by David when he fled from his son Absalom. O LORD, look how my enemies have increased! Many are attacking me.
2 Many are saying about me, "Even with God on his side, he won't be victorious." Selah
3 But you, O LORD, are a shield that surrounds me. You are my glory. You hold my head high.
4 I call aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Selah
5 I lie down and sleep. I wake up again because the LORD continues to support me.
6 I am not afraid of the tens of thousands who have taken positions against me on all sides.
7 Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! You have slapped all my enemies in the face. You have smashed the teeth of wicked people.
8 Victory belongs to the LORD! May your blessing rest on your people. Selah
